Mobile FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Listed below are several questions you may be asking. We are also providing the answer to these questions about mobile sites.
What is difference between regular & mobile website?
A regular website is designed to be viewed on a desktop computer. When this site is viewed on a mobile device, the user experience is not that great because certain elements from the site might not appear or may not function properly. If a telephone number is listed on a regular site, you cannot click on the number and automatically dial the number. Whereas on a mobile optimized website, the phone call will automatically be placed, thus reaching your business.
What are the benefits of having a mobile optimized site?
The primary benefit of a mobile optimized site is to to provide a great overall website experience for your mobile users. With over 70 million Americans browsing websites from their phone each month, it is a necessity for businesses to provide a quality mobile experience and provide quick access to information about your business. A mobile optimized site helps convert mobile traffic to customers by using special mobile website features such as "Click to Call," and mobile maps for directions.
Which mobile devices are supported?
