Mobile Friendly Web Sites – Let Us Build One For You!

With the massive growth in ‘smart‘ phones and ‘notebooks‘ and so much  web searching and browsing being carried out ‘on the move‘ how does your internet presence stand up against the mobile revolution? Have you got your phone to hand? If you have a QR Code Scanner installed scan these codes to go to some sample sites we’ve built. (No QR Scanner? Type the shortcut urls below each code into your mobile device).

QR Code 1

To scan or not? If you do not have a QR Reader check your phones App Store – they are all free as far as I’m aware, and see what your potential customers see when they scan a QR Code you might consider using to promote your business.

The point is that if somebody is searching for a business like yours on their mobile phone, even if they find your site on page #1 of Google Search, your web site will be really hard if not impossible for them to read! But your regular web site does not need to be replicated for mobile users – because mobile users are generally looking for any one the following when searching for your business online:

  • Your phone number
  • A Contact/Booking Form (email)
  • A map and directions to you
  • A description of your services
  • Your latest ‘coupon’ offer.special deals, promotions!
  • What’s on the menu today?
  • Testimonials?

Here’s how SEOptimum might be able to help:

Mobile SiteWhat we do is create a colour co-ordinated simple site with logo and a selection of what we feel the essential info from your ‘main’ site a mobile visitor needs to see. Normally this would be 5-6 pages. More if you wish.

We then add some clever code to your main site that can tell when the site is being accessed from a mobile device and so send the visitor to the smart phone friendly version of the site.

Here’s an image of what this site’s mobile presence looks like – or you can visit the iphone tester site to check out our sample site and see how it works and looks on a smart phone, and then enter your own url in there to get an idea of what your main site looks like to a mobile web surfer.

Not too visitor friendly I suspect? If you have a Smart phone to hand, with a QR code reader installed, you can scan the QR code image, bottom right of this page, to go to our mobile site. Another online tool to check out how mobile friendly your site is can be found at ValidatorW3mobile.org.

Our site, the one you are looking at now achieved a big fat 0%! However our mobile version ( as seen on the left: http://www.seoptimum.com/mobi) got a very respectable 93%!

How many potential customers are you losing through not being smart phone enabled?
