It seems like we’re talking about the stone age when thinking back to when this was not an option. I for one don’t know what I would do without internet on my phone. To be honest, I use my iPhone more than I do my laptop because of its convenience. And with this becoming the standard for several smart phone users, the need for more convenient websites became a necessity. Phones needed a simpler designed website that was easier to access, and from that idea the mobile site was born.

Nowadays practically every website has a compatible mobile website that people can get to quickly on their phones. When people are rushing around throughout their day to day activities, they need an easy way to get information. When you are in a pinch, the last thing you want to do is wait around for a website to load. That is precisely why many of these sites are more simply designed, less graphics and fewer words. It allows the reader to get to the heart of the site and quickly get the most pertinent information.

How many of us have been driving somewhere, or walking down a crowded city block and can not seem to find the business we are looking for? If this business has taken advantage of creating a mobile friendly site, our job just got a whole lot easier. Not only do these sites have few words so you aren’t searching for contact information for an hour, but often they use the click to call button so that when you highlight the number it gives you the option of automatically calling that business. For anyone who has ever Googled something on their phone, you know how incredibly important these tiny little additions can be.

Unlike when you sit at home with your laptop, when you are on your phone it is generally not for leisurely web surfing. People want instant information from their smart phones, and this means that the layout needs to be simple. It is important that your business is not alienating clients by frustrating them with slow loading sites meant for computers. The point of a website is to raise awareness about your business, and in order to do so you need site traffic. Therefore, you want happy customers who can access your site easily. There is nothing that frustrates me more then when a site won’t load properly because it is not mobile friendly. Unfortunately for your business, you may have just lost a customer. I think the same can be said for thousands of mobile users; we want reliability. It is why mobile sites are so vital to businesses.

It is widely reported that by 2015 more people will access the internet from their phones than from computers. That is a crazy statistic to think about, but one that is not far off. Only a few short years ago, smart phones were not even a part of our everyday lives, and now they are practically our largest go to internet source. This speaks volumes to the importance of making sure your business is on board the mobile website train. So, does your company have a mobile website, and how can we help to better that website to keep your customers pleased?

Let’s start with why business owners do not blog yet, this could be you-

1. First thing we often hear is that they think it will take a ton of time. This is a misconception. Blogging for a few minutes each week is enough to get started and can take you all of under 15 minutes to do. So, time is really not a reason to not blog.
2. Some people think it is going to cost them a lot, again, we only take 5 hours or more, depending on how advanced you want to get, so the cost is minimal to you and the businesses we have done blogs for find it very affordable. It pays them back within a few weeks.
3. Next reason we most often hear is that it may be hard to learn how to blog. First off, we include the training in our cost. As a past teacher myself, I am patient and enjoy teaching our clients how to post. It usually takes no more than 1 hour and more most people that are working on computers already, it can take as little as 15 minutes to have your first blog posts up with photos. So, it is not hard to learn.
4. Why should I blog, I don’t see the reasons for this? We get this question a lot and we should get this question a lot because blogging is still new all things considered. You can see our other post regarding why your business needs a blog. But to repeat just a few main reasons here, first, it is great for search engine optimization and driving traffic to your website, next, it makes you an expert in your field, third, you can be more in contact with your clients and potential clients on a weekly basis as they read your blog posts. The list of pros for a corporate blog is long.
