With one third of the population having access to the Internet through a mobile device, ask yourself: Is your website easily accessible to this growing mass market?
Xibis is at the forefront of new technologies aimed at web applications. One of the latest innovations is enabling your website to be viewed easily via a mobile phone or PDA device.
This new technology is still in its infancy, but is due to extend further into the reach of the Internet. Mobile manufacturers are pushing this feature more and more to the consumers, and although still very new technology, Xibis has already produced several mobile-enabled applications which are making a big impact on the availability for the businesses in question.
A mobile enabled site needs to focus on two elements:
1. The mobile user experience via a handset, including the physical screen size and connection speed. Even with 3G connections the experience can still be slower than fixed broadband, so this is major design consideration.
2. Why the user is browsing via a mobile; often it’s because they are on the move and possibly short on time. They will require their buying decision making information to be clear and instant. This will result in your site having to have a short time tolerance to convert the mobile user into a customer who places an order.
As an example, why not view Xibis' mobile-enabled website found here.
The benefits of mobile enablement include:
• Greater access of your website from a wider audience.
• Anytime viewing for customers on the move.
• Gives instant access to mobile users without needing a desktop/laptop computer.
Xibis can apply mobile enablement to any website, build fully functional iPhone applications, and develop m-commerce systems.
