Mobile Websites:  Now’s The Time

The cell phone began as a … phone.  That’s all that it was, yet it made communicating on the go extremely convenient.  Why wait at home for an important call when we can multi-task and get more things done while receiving that call from virtually anywhere?  And then technology ramped up its capabilities and usefulness and turned it into something we can’t live without. 

Today, your cell phone is your mobile computer where you can swiftly access information; play music; download and/or stream movies; take photos and videos; and most definitely, search the web.  The Smart Phone isn’t just a portable phone; it’s become an extension of the human body.  People sleep with it, shop with it, keep it next to their plate at the restaurant, and live with it every moment of the day.  I could go on and on explaining the virtues of the Smart Phone and how we have entirely embraced its benefits.  But, I won’t because nearly 200 million people in this country already have one and know exactly what the benefits are.  In fact, there are more Smart Phones being used than PC’s.  That number alone should tell you something.  

How are you customers connecting with you?

I’d rather ask you this question:  As a business owner, why don’t you have a mobile website?  Why isn’t your company’s website available to all of these people who have made the Smart Phone an extension of their body?  Perhaps you feel that your customers and your potential customers prefer to visit your website on their desktop computer.  I beg to differ.  Not to say that you shouldn’t have a website designed to display on desktops and laptops.  But, just like no one has to wait at home for that important incoming call anymore, shoppers, diners, and information seekers are out and about using their Smart Phones to connect with the world. 

goMobi – a great solution

That’s where a goMobi mobile add-on provided by Spyridon Technologies comes in.  A goMobi site features clickable phone numbers, maps and locations based directions, hours of operations, coupons, and so much more.  And the best part is, it works independently without the need for any major changes to your existing website.
Finally, a high quality, easy to use, cost efficient mobile solution that generates value, increases customer loyalty, and adds revenue to your bottom line.  Additionally, it’s designed for both speed and efficiency of use.  Why?  Because your customers and potential customers are on the go, even right now. 

Listen, without having a mobile ready website, you may lose business if people are having a difficult time accessing and using your website on their platform of choice – their phone.   That’s simply a fact.   A study by Limelight Networks found that 80% of customers researching or purchasing products on their mobile phone will abandon a website if they're not satisfied with their mobile browsing experience.  Why give customers another reason to visit your competitors?
