Mobile web usage set to skyrocket

A little over five years ago, the world of technology changed drastically. Never before had a mobile device delivered the web the way it was intended. Thus began the “genius phone” era. It spawned competition and introduced a whole new approach to marketing and generating revenue.

The mobile web provides extremely powerful business tools that, in some cases, can do things desktop computers simply cannot. Businesses have access to unique data like a user’s location and interests, which allows them to target their audience more effectively than before. Read More …

There's no longer an "app for that"

Thanks to the mobile web, businesses are able to connect with more people than ever before. Mobile technologies run the gamut from the social arena to areas of commerce. Get on the train. Ride the wave. Use whatever metaphor you like. Just make sure you use the mobile web to its full potential. Adapting to the growing wireless landscape is no longer a matter of choice – it is vital to the success of any business.

Mobile: App vs. Website

Which Is Right For You? You know your company needs a mobile presence, but you aren’t sure if you should go the website or application route. Maybe you didn't even know there were two options and you need someone to shine a light into this “mobile web” abyss. Mobile apps and their website counterparts are two distinctly different beasts. Each has its own set of pros and cons.

Mobile Websites

One benefit of a mobile website is compatibility with all platforms. Only an Internet connection and web browser are required to access a mobile website. Changes are a snap, making maintenance easy and quick. A shortened development cycle translates into a quicker time to market. Read More …

Mobile Applications

Mobile applications offer their own set of advantages. For example, mobile applications have access to the hardware built in to the device such as the GPS, accelerometer and camera to name just a few. Mobile apps feel more native than websites so users are typically more comfortable using them. Performance aspects such as load time and processing speed are typically significantly faster as well.

Which is right for you?

This really depends on the specific needs of your business. One thing is certain: virtually all businesses would benefit from a mobile presence. The reach and rate of the mobile web is steadily increasing. By creating either a mobile app or a mobile website, your business has the ability to strike while the iron is hot and truly take advantage of the expanding mobile market.

He's not there for you

He's not there for you

You don’t have a mobile specific website. Given that Americans spend 2.7 hours a day playing around on their phone, there’s a good chance that your website will be visited by a user on a mobile device. If your website doesn’t look good on a mobile phone, there’s an even better chance that the user will bounce.

He doesn't "work it" like he should

Usability is not at the core of your mobile presence. Mobile phones are fun to use. Why are they fun? Because they’re easy and intuitive and you can usually find what you need in just a few swipes and taps. If your mobile site or app is confusing, the user will leave confused. Read More …

He calls you another woman's name

You don’t have mobile specific/friendly content. When we’re browsing the Internet on our phones, we’re not really committed to, well, anything. Life could interrupt us at any moment. So, the content presented must be focused on the user by providing the most crucial information in a very quick-and-to-the-point manner.

He's not considerate

Your mobile site doesn’t consider screen real estate and the user’s limited time. On average, a mobile screen is 3.5 inches. There’s no space for tons of pictures, buttons, bells and whistles and no time to sort through a bunch of superfluous content. A mobile site is about simple functionality that gets the user what they need. Fast.

He doesn't appreciate your complexity

Your Mobile site doesn’t account for all platforms. The way a mobile site or app appears on an iPhone is different than how it appears on an Android or a Blackberry. When designing and developing a mobile site, all platforms must be considered so that no mobile user is left behind.
