Why Mobile?
As the exponential growth of iPhone and Android devices has shown, mobile Internet is now a reality. Gone are the days of unreliable and slow connections, the majority of mobile devices can now sustain broadband quality connections even while on the move. This has opened new opportunities for web publishers to sell to more consumers at more times of the day than ever before.
Along with the growth of mobile devices as secondary (and even tertiary with the rise of the iPad) Internet consumption devices we're seeing a remarkable rise in the number of users who only ever access the web from a mobile device, especially in their own home.
What is Mobile Optimisation?
Mobile optimisation is the process of taking your existing website and making modifications to improve it's usability, performance and appeal on mobile devices. With their, generally, smaller screens and different methods of interaction (touch, for example) the experience of using a website designed for a desktop browser can be frustrating. If you've encountered any of the following you'll know how far these annoyances can go to making you leave the website completely.
- Small, poorly spaced navigation links make the simple process of following a link needlessly difficult
- Small fonts and long line lengths making copy a chore to read
- Over bearing images especially on smaller screen sizes
- Use of Flash movies for navigation or animation elements
- Cumbersome and unnecessary text entry boxes for checkout/signup flows
- Badly designed pages leading to lots of scrolling/swiping to reach the useful content
Which Platforms?
We develop and test on all major mobile platforms including iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android & Blackberry. Each platform has it's own unique challenges, requirements and constraints, however the latest statistics show the vast majority of mobile browsing is done using the Safari/WebKit framework used by default on the iOS & Android platforms. With this knowledge we can rapidly develop and deploy your mobile website to the majority of potential visitors and with the greatest possible featureset.
