TIPS & TRICKS

Mobile phone websites

Mobile phone friendly website

iPhones, BlackBerrys and mobile phones with web access... many internet users are now surfing the web on their phone. How does this effect your business?

Mobile phone websites are very important for local business such as florists and food-delivery. People are usually searching on a mobile phone for something they want urgently such as location or phone number.

But, what's different about viewing a site on a mobile phone?

  • the speeds are slow
  • screen size is much smaller
  • images are slow to download - infact most mobile devices offer users an option to switch images off
  • users are time poor

The solution - a .mobi website

Purchase a .mobi domain name so you can have an alternative version of your website tailored to mobile users. This domain extension makes the device know it's a website made for mobiles.

The mobile version of your site should have:
  • maximised functionality with limited clicks for a user to get information
  • minimal colours with good contrast
  • only the most basic and popular information
  • phone numbers in the meta tags (this increases your search ranking on iPhones)
  • basic coding - simple tables are best for layout
