Websites for mobile phones

Peakweb build and host mobile websites designed to be used on mobile phones.

“But I’ve already got a website” … I hear you say. Good, but you need a mobile web site as well.

“Why Do I Need A Mobile Website? “

Mobile smart phone and iPhone users are using their phones to search for local businesses. When they view your desktop website on their smartphone or iPhone, what do they see?

• Does your website fit the screen correctly?
• Can your customers find what they need easily?

In most cases, the answer is ‘No’ – and the mobile user’s experience is frustrating and not good.

A traditional website is designed to be viewed using browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, etc. Most websites look fine on a desktop or laptop, but they won’t cut it for mobile visitors.

Mobile phones use different browsers and screen space is at a premium. A traditional website might load on the mobile phone but serious usability issues exist that create high frustration and site click-aways:

• Slow page loads
• Awkward navigation
• Poor readability
• Continual scrolling
• Forms do not load or function correctly
• Flash not supported
• Missing unique benefits of a mobile website

*(74% will only wait 5 seconds or less for a page to load; full website pages can take +30 seconds to load – Compuware Mobile Phone User Survey, July 2011)

So, there is a high probability mobile phone users visiting your website will be disappointed that it is not mobile-ready.

Based on mobile user survey’s, what is likely to happen?

• 57% will NOT recommend the site
• 43% are not likely to return to a slow loading site
• 33% to 40% will visit a competitor’s site

(Compuware Mobile Phone User Survey, July 2011)

Don’t let that happen! Keep your mobile web traffic — your mobile visitors, clients and prospects — coming back to your business and your mobile website.
