BSM is currently working on 4 different mobile web site projects and find ourselves wondering why more web entities don’t have mobile site offerings, considering the number of users that are increasingly using mobile devices as their primary web browsing tool. Perhaps it’s user demographics or budgetary issues, but the reality is that it can be quite feasible to deliver mobile-friendly content. Following our internal discussion on this topic, we’ve asked ourselves a question and are curious how others would answer this, so here goes…
Of the many web sites you frequently utilize, which one do you most strongly wish was mobile-device friendly?
Responses so far range across the board and include banking sites, favorite take out dining joints, ski resorts and pediatrician offices. While the technology for mobile web sites is neither new nor overly complex on a basic level, we’ve seen a surge in client interest surrounding mobile devices as the technology rapidly evolves and our on-the-go world seems to be doing more while on-the-go.
We welcome and thank you in advance for your feedback.
PS – In an effort to drink our own Kool Aid, one of the 4 projects currently in progress is a mobile web site for BrainSparkMedia.com, coming soon to a mobile web browser near you. Cobbler’s kids…but it’s finally underway.
I’d like it if my favorite Thai restaurant had a mobile site for online ordering.
It would also be nice if Aveda had a mobile site for reservations.
shouldn’t they all be mobile ready?!
How about restaurant chains location finders – Chipotle is great; Jamba Juice won’t work at all without Flash.
I sense a theme here, and it’s making me hungry.
Sometimes it can be so frustrating to navigate a website on my phone. I wish more companies had mobile sites! Often, all I need is a telephone number or an address & it’s hard to get to it… It’d be great if Denver Public Schools had a mobile site.
