- Collins Catering and Events has three main objectives. (Read list.) We think the best way to accomplish these goals is by going mobile.
- The growth and forecasted future of mobile data usage worldwide is shown here. Using this information, it has been predicted that mobile devices will overtake traditional computers as a means to access the Internet by 2014.
- Mobile usage has sky-rocketed, with one out of four mobile users using Smartphones and half of all searches being done on a mobile device.
- Content prioritization refers to mobile sites general inclination to give priority to only the most crucial and time-and location-specific features. This essentially means people using a mobile device are really only looking to skip all the fluff and still view an eye-catching site. In true Dragnet fashion, “Just the facts, ma’am.” Vertical navigation replaces horizontal in nearly 90% of all mobile website. After thorough research, it seems that neither is a “better” choice; they both have pros and cons. Ultimately, it is the decision of the designer and site owner as to which is preferred. Hyperlinks, often used as a signature component of the Internet and the Web, are scarce on mobile sites. Mobile sites also show a minimal form of a footer, not using footers containing quick links. Mobile sites generally avoid using promotional and marketing graphics and use minimal graphics for navigation.Mobile sites offer better integration with phone functionsand present marketing opportunities, such as expeditingdirect orders by phone or sending promotional text messages.
- Verticalnavigation is seen all over the place, on every kind of website. Itis one of the most versatile patterns and able to view long lists of links. This can be accomplished by a simple sidebar menu or by a pull down, pop out type menu.
- HTML 5 and CSS3 helps a website to be viewable across many platforms. Mobify is a popular service for creating a mobile-optimized version of a website.
- For a moment, we now will explore the visual differences between mobile and standard websites. There is a vast difference between a mobile website and a standard website viewed on a mobile device.
- Notice, the mobile sites for 1-800-Flowers and ABC family are optimized for mobile. They offer vertical navigation, no hyperlinks, and limited graphics.
- As you can see, some mobile websites are not as good as others. They feature problems with too much text, too many hyperlinks, and un-useable content.
- As this chart shows, the great majority of people simply abandon a non-functioning mobile website in favor of viewing it on a traditional desktop computer, while others use it to finish their task, but don’t return to it. Still, others will simply skip a bad site and find a better one right then and there.
