The number of people accessing mobile Internet is growing fast and is expected to overtake the PC as the most popular way to get on the Web by 4 mobile users to 1 pc user.

What are consumers using their mobiles for?

In order of importance, the key drivers are; money transfer; looking for maps/directions/people; searching the internet; mobile website browsing; mobile health monitoring; mobile payment; business communication in the field (such as our Bonza Mobile techs); creating/viewing advertising specifically for mobiles; instant messaging; mobile music.

How do Mobile Websites work?

Basic website design principals are still the same yet there is a lot to consider when creating a mobile friendly website.

• Screensize: your website needs to run on a screen as small as 2 inches! The standard computer monitor is now around 19 inches or more!
• Load time: a mobile phone generally will have a slower Internet connection than a computer, therefore a mobile website should have minimal graphics and be saved in a mobile friendly format.
• Simplicity: it is a lot harder to read long lines of text on a phone, therefore everything must be kept to a minimum.

 What’s Involved:

– Optimized for viewing on a mobile phone.
– Correct dimensions and page layout.
– Less images and smaller file sizes.
– Reduced navigation is required for mobiles.

If you don’t have a mobile friendly website, right now could be the perfect time to invest.
