With roughly 5.2 billion mobile customers in 2011 and 1.7 billion mobile internet users anticipated by 2013 (Infonetics Research), leveraging the mobile device system is crucial for organizations. Even though some technological innovations and gadgets are only shortly lived fads, there are others that transcend time and successfully modify the way we operate and do business.

Mobile tech engineering has transformed smartphones into web browsing devices, sometimes surpassing or taking the position of conventional internet browsing on personal computers. As technology develops and internet connections have become quicker and more dependable, more and more consumers will take advantage of mobile web surfing.

What does this mean? If you’re not catering to the mobile web surfer, you may be losing out on substantial exposure and business. Here’s why:

1) The Need for Instant Information

Who still has a dial-up connection? No one that we know. Most people want information and facts immediately. Concert playing in town? Music-lovers can purchase tickets instantaneously. A pair of jeans they like? They can uncover competitor’s prices online and make a buying selection right away. If you’re not there for those immediate buys, you might be missing out on major financial 0pportunity.
2) Size Matters When it Comes to User Experience

Most websites do display on mobile browsers. The distinction is how effectively your website shows up on smaller mobile displays. Need to continually resize the screen? Find it difficult to click on buttons? It’s these little details that drive user experience. If your website is not optimized for mobile use, visitors may be turned away by poor usability.

3) Rendering is Crucial

You might really like your website as it renders on your computer’s display, but that’s precisely what may cause difficulties on mobile devices. Have tons of bells and whistles? Employing a lot of flash? It’s very likely this will not render correctly on mobile phones and let down your visitors. When it comes to enhancing a website for mobile use, less is more.

Mobile technology and internet use is escalating significantly, generating a new medium for merchants and businesses to reach possible clients. If your website is not mobile-friendly, you may well be missing out in a big way.
