We can make your website mobile friendly
Over the past few years, mobile web usage has increased greatly to the point that SEO consultants, web developers and designers can no longer afford to ignore mobile website development, nor can their clients. In wealthy countries, the shift is being promoted by faster and expanding mobile broadband connections (3g and now 4g) and cheaper data services. However, a large increase has also been seen in developing nations where people have bypassed buying PCs or netbooks and have instead entered the online world with mobile devices. Unfortunately, mobile products create issues that can be difficult for developers and designers to build web content for. Mobile device development demands more than cross-browser support, it should be cross-platform.
How does your site look on an iPad?
A Blackberry?
A Droid phone?
The ever growing number of mobile gadgets makes thorough testing a practical impossibility, leaving developers pine for the days when they only had to develop for legacy browsers like Netscape. In addition to supporting different platforms, each device may use any number of mobile web browsers.
For example, a Droid phone user could access your site using the native Android browser, or could have also installed Opera Mini or Firefox Mobile and then at work access your site via their Macbook using Mac OSX. It’s fine as long as the smartphone uses a progressive web browser (and it’s safe to say that most browsers are progressive nowadays), but it doesn’t have to. Did you know iPhones do not support Flash? The mobile web reintroduces several issues that have been largely ignored in recent years. First, even with 4G networks, bandwidth becomes a serious issue for mobile consumers.
Additionally, mobile devices (iPads, cell phones) have a significantly smaller screen size, which presents design issues that are new and very challenging. Combine these issues with cross-platform compatibility problems, and it isn’t hard to see how mobile development can intimidate the small business owner.
