Mobile users are frustrated by slow, clunky sites that are ill-suited for smartphones and other Internet-enabled mobile devices. Too often, important information is buried under images and text that is irrelevant to visitors on the go.

Globally, consumers are expected to spend $119 billion by 2015 through their mobile phones, accounting for about 8% of all e-commerce activity, according to ABI Research.

The total value of mobile payments around the world will quadruple from $170 billion in 2010 to $630 billion in 2014, according to Juniper Research.  The numbers speak for themselves, so it’s fair to say that consumers are rapidly adopting mobile shopping as a way to buy physical and digital goods. This rapid adoption rate means customers are starting to expect that their favorite retailers will have a mobile presence, making mobile commerce both an opportunity and an imperative for merchants.

Savvy website owners offer websites specifically optimized for use by iPhones, Androids and other mobile devices. Connect with the millions surfing the mobile web.

	Mobile Friendly Features to Maximize Business Convert leads and engage mobile users with quick features like Find Us, Opening Hours, etc. to help turn traffic into customers.  Give your mobile clients exactly the information they're looking for: opening hours, location, directions, business information, coupons, access to reservations and more. The one-touch "call us" and "find us" options will bring visitors to you quickly.
	Easy-to-Navigate Site A familiar icon-driven interface provides an effortless user experience that displays information up to 6 times quicker than on a full website.  Trying to view a traditional website on a mobile device can be a complete nightmare.

It's the ultimate in accessibility!  Provide your customers with 24/7, anywhere access to your business — with compatibility across more than 5,000 mobile phones.
	Automatic Device Detection Do you have an established domain name, one that your customers have come to rely on? You can easily point that domain name to your mobile site – visitors using a mobile device will be redirected automatically to the mobile version of your website. No hassle, no confusion.

Why do I need a mobile website?
Most websites do not work on a mobile phone. They are slow to load, hard to view and do not offer the right kind of experience for customers on-the-go. By 2013, there will be an estimated 4.5 billion mobile phone users worldwide   using their phones to surf the Internet and look for information and services. 

• Mobile web growth is happening 4 times as fast as the Internet.
• One out of every seven minutes of media consumption takes place on mobile.
• There are over 5,000 different mobile devices that can access the mobile web.
• There are over 4.3 Billion mobile devices worldwide.
• What do they see? Does it load? How long does it take? Can they find information   easily? What does it look like on an iPhone? A BlackBerry? The Motorola Razr?

It's already happening: people are going to websites from their phones. If your business is not on the mobile Web, your customers will not be able to find you.

Here is a report every business should read concerning mobile web statistics.

Who Needs a Mobile Website?

With 30 percent of mobile phone owners frequently using an Internet browser on their phones, every business owner should consider having a site geared toward the mobile market.  Here are some examples...

Restaurants - The hottest market seeing visitors from the mobile web is restaurants.  Present your menu, hours of operation, quick call for reservations, accept reservations, provide map/directions, etc.

Real Estate - Clients can instantly view properties, even while outside the home, click to call the agent, view images, sq. ft., etc.

Builders - Click to call builder, present testimonials, view all available properties, Google map, social networking, etc.

Retail Shops - Show hours, click to call, products, Google map, etc.

Florists - Instant flower purchases (Mother's Day is hot), click to call, directions, etc.

Attorneys, auto shops, car rentals, hotels, cabin rentals, plumbers, electricians and contractors... all businesses need a mobile website.

A mobile Web site should be absolutely clear and straight-forward with no clutter. Most people browsing on a mobile device are surfing the Internet at slower speeds than on their laptops or desktops and are searching for specific information. For a small business Web site, the information must be easy to find, and a mobile site must be fundamentally based on this principle.

Why a Mobile Website?

Mobile User Friendly - Mobile users on the go need different information. They should be able to find it quickly, and easily.

Fast to Load - A website designed for mobile will load in about 4 seconds, while  a desktop site can take up to 40 seconds or more to load on a mobile device.

A Great Brand Experience - You control the brand experience - you are not at the mercy of the various mobile browsers to decide how your site will look.

Build it Once - We can build one mobile version of your site that is optimized for all of the 5,000 devices that can access the mobile web. You don't have to choose between the iPhone, BlackBerry or Droid.  We make it work for everyone.

Because it is a highly personal communications tool, the mobile web is the most effective way to present relevant information to users on the go.

We create your new mobile website so it is optimized for smaller screens of a mobile device.  Get found when customers execute searches on a mobile device.
