A Mobile Website is a website specifically designed to
work on a mobile device such as a phone.
A properly designed mobile website takes advantage of features uniquely available to a mobile device while also taking into account their limitations.
More people are accessing more information on their mobile phones and this trend is increasing.
Easily searching for and accessing web based information on a mobile device is expected by mobile users.
Your business needs to take advantage of this by offering a mobile site that meets the expectations of mobile users.
Mobile users are sent directly to your mobile site when they access your ".com" site with their mobile device. This ensures mobile users receive their expected mobile experience.
A mobile site designed to work on a mobile device works fine on a regular computer. A link to your mobile site on your desktop site encourages users to access it from their computer. This helps promote your mobile site so they know it exists and become familiar with its use, making it more likely they will access it with their phone.
But the best solution is to automatically send mobile users directly to your mobile site. This ensures mobile users receive their expected mobile experience.
Otherwise, the mobile browser on the user's phone will attempt to adapt your desktop site to work on the mobile device. This can result in a poor user experience.
Many phones can display desktop sites, but no mobile device can take advantage of the unique mobile design features of a custom designed mobile website unless the site itself is specifically designed for mobile use.
But if the ".mobi" domain name of your business or other name you want is available, you should buy it. Stone Valley Systems can handle this for you.
Your mobile site can be at a ".mobi" domain name as in "www.yourdomain.mobi", or it can be in a subdomain of your existing domain as in "m.yourdomain.com", or it can be in a folder of your existing domain as in "www.yourdomain.com/mobile". In any case, the mobile user can be sent directly to the mobile site.
