Mobile Website Design For an Expanding Web

The Mobile Web refers to the use of browser-based access to the Internet from a mobile device such as a smartphone or iPad, connected to a wireless network. The growth in this area has been rapidly growing since the introduction of the iPhone. Now we have Androids, Blackberrys, Win-Phones, and a host of others competing for a share in this enormous market. In 2008, something unbelievable happened. The number of mobile devices accessing the Internet exceeded the number of desktop / laptops for the first time ever. This means that if you do not have a good mobile website to compliment your existing website, you are ignoring about half of your available audience. We have received numerous inquiries that came from people who found us because of our mobile site. Still not sure? Just read the following excerpt which was taken from International Telecommunications Union.

"Traditionally, access to the Web has been via fixed-line services. However the Web is going mobile. In 2008 an important milestone in the transition from fixed to mobile Web use was reached when mobile access to the Internet exceeded desktop computer-based access for the first time (source: International Telecommunications Union, Oct 2009)[1]."

In fact, the shift to mobile Web access has been accelerating since 2007 with the rise of much more powerful smart phones, and more recently with the emergence of more IPad'esque computers. Both platforms are better equipped for Internet access and better user Web experiences than have been offered by previous generations.
