Is A Mobile Site Really Necessary?

Monday, June 15, 2009 by Annette Tonti

Today there are over 5000 mobile devices that can display some version of a web page. That number is getting bigger fast!   As more phones become “smart” and more computing devices become… well smaller, you need to have a strategy around having a high quality mobile presence that works everywhere.

Your customers are mobile, be there for them. It's time to create a mobile website.

A recent report showed that mobile web traffic more than doubled between January 2008 and 2009.  Mobile web traffic is going to continue to rise, quickly.  Sites like ESPN have already had days where their mobile site gets more traffic than their desktop site!
 

Whether in the US, Asia or Europe your customers are likely carrying more than one hand held mobile device.  Legacy PC companies are all moving mobile, and about to put new portable “netbook” devices on the streets.  At the end of March 2009 Michael Dell, CEO of Dell said “For the last three years, we have integrated 3G radios into our notebooks,” said Dell. “We already have agreements with many mobile carriers around netbook devices, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect that we would have smaller mobile Internet devices or smartphones in the future.”
