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.
Specific advantages of a mobile website
Google gives greater value to mobile websites in search results from mobile devices. Therefore, your business and mobile website will be ranked higher than your competitor who hasn’t a mobile website; meaning more customers & revenue for you!
- Higher Google Ranking.
- Simplify Customer Interaction.
- Increased Sales.
- Tap To Call (Phone No#) [mobile specific technology]
Smartphone users are much more likely to use and quickly need your services/products than regular web visitors to your regular website. In a recent survey:
- 89% of People Surveyed used their smartphones daily.
- 81% browsed the Internet and
- 77% used a search engine
Of those who use their smartphones the type of information they sought was:
- Dining & Restaurant Info – 51%
- Navigational – 51%
- Shopping – 47%
- Travel – 31%
- Business Services – 24%
- Automotive – 17%
89% indicated they had some sense of urgency when using a smartphone.

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance. I must say you’ve done a very good job with this. Also, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Firefox. Superb Blog!
