Why Mobile?
If your website is not currently mobile optimised you could be missing out on potential new business every day.
Now is the time to get your site mobile friendly so that it displays well on any mobile device whether that be a tablet or a smartphone.
Some quick mobile statistics:
- It is forecast that in 2013 39% of homes will have at least one table device (Nielsen, Australian Online Consumer Report)
- It is estimated that over 48% of Australians over 16 own a Smartphone (up 13% since 2011)
- Currently over 70% of Australians have internet access on their mobile device
- Over 60% of mobile users are unlikely to return to a site they had trouble accessing from their mobile device
There are many more but these should be compelling enough to start you thinking about making your website mobile friendly.
It doesn’t have to be difficult
As with anything technical there seems to be a lot of misinformation, confusion and jargon surrounding the mobile web. There are a number of options available to you if you are looking to make your website mobile friendly:
- Build a separate mobile site
- Create an alternate “view” or “style” for your site to present to mobile visitors
- Rebuild your current site to be mobile friendly (“responsive” or “fluid”)
Should you go mobile?
Deciding on when or if you should go mobile friendly should be a fairly simple task.
The first thing you should do as a business is to look at your website statistics to see how many visitors coming to your site are on a mobile device.
Anything over 10% and you should be seriously thinking about making your site mobile friendly. Do you really want to put off one in 10 visitors to your website?
If you have good statistics software (like Google Analytics) you can see what people are visiting on what devices, allowing you to put a plan together on how to service those visitors.
