Many Small Businesses Missing Out On Mobile

Does your small business have a website? Does that website get a lot of traffic from mobile web devices? And the most important question of all, is your site optimized for a mobile web device?

From the research I've done on most of the small businesses in Windsor Ontario that have websites, I've found that less than 15% of them had a site that was optimized for mobile. That could potentially mean big losses for those companies because the mobile users aren't able to view your site on their iPhone, Blackberry, Android phone etc.

Most web designers will build you a website without ever thinking about what it looks like on a mobile phone. Chances are if you go to your website right now on a mobile device, you'll get frustrated and leave.

With so many people surfing the web with their phones nowadays, it's silly not to have a web designer build you a mobile version of your site. A mobile version is usually a much easier to navigate, with larger text and links. When I build mobile web designs, I usually tell my clients to put only the most important info on the mobile version. I've found that many mobile web users are only on the site for less than 5 minutes. They login to your site, they get the info they need and they're gone. They aren't sitting in front of a PC for 20 minutes at a time surfing through all the pages of your site. They want it quickly and easily, without having to zoom in or zoom out to view content.

If you're interested in having a mobile web design built for your small business, please contact me. I'll gladly set you up with a free quote which rarely ever exceeds $500.00
