Mobile Website Development

Beyond innovation – Mobile Websites that work!

A recent study claimed that in Liberia alone; 4 million people have access to a cell phone.

The way consumers receive and perceive communication, advertising and marketing has completely evolved!

Clearly, from a Strategic Marketing and Website perspective within the new digital world; we will be bold enough to say that no marketing initiative or message released should not include mobile as a medium!

With the ongoing and fast evolution of technology; more and more users have smart phones and are expecting websites to be mobile friendly.

What Customers want…

Another interesting study showed that nearly 75% of users prefer a mobile-friendly website; and also that 96% of consumers say they have encountered websites that were clearly not designed for mobile devices.

Evidently this is a problem considering that more and more of the consumer base is expecting mobile friendly website and on the other hand; also a huge opportunity for companies to give their customers what they want and thus more effectively engage with their mobile users.

We have moved way passed web access simply via fixed line on a laptop or desktop computer.

According to the International Telecommunication Union, the growth rate of smart-phone and tablet users show that people are accessing the internet “on the go” and they predict that connecting via mobile devices will exceed static web access in less than five years.

 

Not sure what a Mobile Website is?

  The Mobile Web refers to access to the world wide web, in other words the use of browser-based Internet services from a handheld mobile device, such as a smart phone, a feature phone or a tablet computer; connected to a mobile network or other wireless network.

The shift to mobile Web access has been accelerating dramatically since 2007.
