Do I need a Smartphone Optimized Web Site?

With the explosion of the smartphone industry the web is evolving to meet the demand for web pages and sites optimized for the smartphone screen.

Dear Entrepreneur,

Here are some important facts you should know:

  1. In 2008, there were 131 million smartphones sold worldwide.Number Of SmartPhones Sold
  2. In 2009, the number of smartphones sold worldwide exceeded 180 million.
  3. By 2013, the number of smartphones sold annually is expected to top 300 million.
  4. The number of smartphone users is expected to exceed 1 billion worldwide by 2014.

And that’s just people with a smartphone-not all cell phones.

However, that’s not the important part… look at these facts:

  1. 45% of smartphone owners abandoned the purchase process because the Smartphones Purchased Statisticssite would not load on their phone.
  2. An additional 38% left the site because it was not developed specifically for smartphone users and was too difficult to navigate.
  3. Another 8% of smartphone owners that tried to purchase a product on their device were unable to do so for unspecified reasons.

Do you understand what that means?

They might have been on your website and it might have been you that lost the sale.

As you see above, the majority of mobile phone users are browsing, searching and buying on the Internet using their handsets.

If when you design your websites you only design them for PC viewing then you need to seriously consider how they’ll look and work on mobile devices.

As the mobile Internet has developed, people expect the same standards when browsing on their handsets as when they’re on their PCs.

The total number of mobile devices in the world exceeds the number of desktop/laptop computers – you must be thinking mobile.   There are 2 billion desktops and laptops worldwide, but there are 5 billion mobile phone users. Furthermore, SMS has a 96% open-rate.

CBS News reports “Web access by people on the move, including through laptops and smart mobile devices, will probably surpass web access from desktop computers within the next five years, according to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).”

ABI Research published a report recently stating that in the U.S. the mobile market will reach $5 billion in 2010.

And remember that 91% of mobile users abandoned their purchases because of problems with the website they were trying to use.

The layout of your website MUST be properly formatted to display properly on mobile phones.

Instead of worrying whether people can see your pages, by far the easiest method to handle cell/smart phone users is to simply put a link at the top of your pages that point to your mobile version.

Then your site visitors can select whether they want to see the mobile version or continue with the normal version.

I know what you’re saying, “How do I create mobile friendly sites? And isn’t it expensive?”
