Mobile Websites

Laptop and desktop computers are no longer the only portal to the Internet. 50% of the web is now viewed on mobile devices such as smart phones, iPads, and other portable tablets. And that percentage will only continue to grow and increase over time. Thus it makes a lot of sense to create a mobile version of your website that can be easily viewed and used.

This mobile site will fit into a cell phone screen without having to scroll horizontally. The mission is to redesign a simplified Home Page that looks graphically similar to your main website. As the viewer scrolls down, a navigation menu appears. A correctly formatted mobile website enables users to access the website information easily and helps with conversion as it is designed to enable users to take the next step and call into the practice or e-mail with an inquiry. The mobile version will not be an exact replica of the main website, as smart phone users will not be spending the same amount of time on the site as someone browsing it from their laptop or PC. Consequently, they won’t typically want to view as much information. Instead, the mobile site  will contain key pages such as the welcome page, contact us, meet the doctor, and key service pages.

Click here from your computer to see what my new mobile site looks like. If you access my website from your mobile device, then you can get the total interactive experience.

A very important feature is to have your webmaster set up your full-size website so that it recognizes a mobile user and automatically redirects the search to the mobile website.  It would also be important to replace any meaningful Flash animation on your website with HTML5 or jQuery so it is viewable to the mobile browser.

This is not a costly project. What are you waiting for?
