Times and technology are certainly changing.
But if you think your business doesn't need to be easily accessible via mobile devices, well think again. comScore reports that
2015 will be the first significant year whereby more people will view content using
mobile devices than
desktops.
This means your website needs to recognize the type of device (desktop,
tablet, or smartphone) accessing your site and render your content
appropriately. For mobile phone users, this generally requires:
- A different navigation or menu format
- A vertical rather than a horizontal content orientation
- Selective use of graphics to speed download (and to minimize the consumption of a viewer’s cellular data plan)
- A responsive design -- meaning a layout and images that automatically adjust to different screen widths and recognizes the rotation of devices
- A prominent "click to call" link enabling potential customers to easily call you
Importantly,
all of your content needs to be available to both desktop and mobile users. To save time and minimize content duplication efforts, your mobile solution needs to be integrated into your overall marketing, messaging, and branding approach.
This means your mobile site cannot be a one-time replication and optimization of your existing "desktop" content.

time,
