Mobile Website Design & SEO
Smart phones are changing the way people obtain information.
Don’t you want to be found wherever your audience is seeking you? If your business doesn’t have a dotMobi presence, you will soon be left behind… in more ways than one. Your biggest competitors are already live or working on their mobile website design. The competition for your market grows a bit bigger every day on mobile screens all around you. You can’t connect to mobile web users from your big, full featured website designed for high speed big screen access. Graphics on today’s state-of-the-art dot-com website make them virtually unreadable on a standard cell phone. The same website design will be so small on an iPhone or Blackberry, no one will be able to read it.
Is your mobile web presence as smart as your phone?
Most people don’t go anywhere without their mobile. Today’s consumer and business person is disconnected without their mobile. Ignoring this trend and breaking technology as it happens, means you aren’t maximizing the full potential of your business. The demographics are changing quickly, and you need to be poised to be there – or be square. The numbers will multiply rapidly from here on out with faster data download speeds and lower cost of access available.

Mobile web doesn’t do your standard internet website any favors.
This is a whole new breed of internet marketing and web development. People don’t surf on their cell phones. They look up the information they need, and they are gone. This isn’t some fancy new toy – mobile web access grew by 110% in 2009. The longer you delay, the harder it will be for your business and brand to rank high in organic mobile search. If you think it is difficult to rank in the top 10 on desktop search, it will be harder on mobile search once everyone and their brother wakes up and gets on board. Why will it be harder? Mobile web development is slim and agile, mobile search ranking doesn’t have all the internet marketing tools you have on the full blown Web. Mobile SEO must be conquered without all the search engine optimization methods and practices we use for big screen surfing.
Without mobile web development, those who connect to your big, beefy internet website won’t stick around. PC formatted websites have poorly formatted pages for mobile access. There is far too much content, and it isn’t appropriately designed to be user-friendly via the mobile web. The connection speed is slower and the pages take too long to load, as well as being difficult (if not impossible) to navigate. Mobile web users have no mouse, they have buttons.
