Best ways to make your website Mobile

Here are the best ways to make your website Mobile.

There are various options, some of which create more work for you, so . . .

make sure that the solution you choose is easy to use and does not create more work for you.

Two of the options are:

Make a mobile version of your website

Make your existing website mobile

There are many people out there now providing so-called “mobile websites”.

There is cheap software available which makes it easy to set up a mobile compatible version of your website with minimal effort.

Some of these guys are quite cheap and some charge a lot.

The important thing to remember is that what you are getting is . . .

only a VERSION of your website as it currently is

That is to say:

It conveys only a small subset of the information available on your website

And more importantly, it is completely separate from your website

The relevance of the second point is that when you change something on your main website, you have to remember to change it on the mobile version of your website as well.

Otherwise – your information is out-of-date.

We believe that the better way to create a mobile website is to make your existing website mobile compatible.

Simply put, we create code in the website that recognises when it is being displayed on a smaller screen, and adjusts the display accordingly.

It is called by various names including Responsive Technology, because the website responds to the device on which it is being viewed.

This may, (or may not), but slightly more expensive initially, BUT the BIG savings come every time that you go to change your website – and you do not have to remember to make the effort to change the mobile version of your site as well.

Editing your online presence, (website & mobile), remains a one step process.

And to me, that convenience is priceless !

Well, that is quite simple really!

What should you do now?

Think carefully before adopting a mobile site that is not integrated with your main site.

More reasons to avoid 3rd party email providers

Facebook just showed me more reasons to avoid 3rd party email providers!

I was reading a post in Facebook by a local Chamber of Commerce and was interested to find out more.

I clicked on the link to read the article and, sure enough . . .

the link took me to the article, (see below).

BUT !!

The article was not displayed in the website of the organisation.

I was reading the article in the servers of the 3rd party, “monkey based” email provider.

There were some clickable links on the page I was viewing.

an email address

a twitter link

a facebook link

BUT !!

No link back to the organisation’s website.

Too bad if I wanted to

find out more general information about the organisation, or

find any other offers or events that they had, or

subscribe to their newsletters

Because I could not.

Please, please, please . . .

One of the big reasons for sending an email newsletter to your database is to get them back to your website once more, where they might see an offer they like or buy something.

So please, please, please . . .

Use an email system that directs your readers back to YOUR website and not to the website of the email provider or elsewhere.

And at Hotpink Websites, that is how we will set up email newsletters in your new website.

Well, that is quite simple really!
