Why does your website need to go mobile?
With the explosive growth of smart phones and web-enabled phones, the mobile web represents the greatest shift in the use of the Internet since the beginning of the worldwide web. Your website needs to be optimized for mobile devices because:
- Your current desktop website is difficult to view on a mobile device. If you have a smart phone you know how annoying it is to pinch and zoom to view content.
- It takes too long to load on a phone. Users expect a mobile site to load in 3 seconds or less. Most users expect a moible site to load as fast as a desktop site.
- A bad mobile experience can cost you customers. It's simple - if a user has a bad mobile experience, they will turn to a competitor's mobile-friendly site.
- By 2013 more people will use their mobile phones than PC's to get online.
- Because Google says you need a mobile site! Google launched a website dedicated to helping businesses learn why they need a mobile-friendly
website. Check out the site on the right side of this page. Test your site, see current mobile trends, mobile facts, mobile site best practices and more.
