Is the website you are trying to access on your mobile phone as crisp, clear and interactive as it is when you look at it on your PC or tablet? More importantly, is your company website displaying correctly on your mobile phone?
Sadly many are not!
Whilst we spend thousands of pounds on developing our websites and ensuring that they can be viewed in any of the most popular PC browsers (and some of the not so well know ones too), it seems we have a habit of forgetting to check that they work just as well when viewed via a smart phone.
The rapid advances in mobile phone technology mean that handsets are now used far more frequently to view websites and buy things like train and cinema tickets, reserve tables at restaurants and order last minute birthday presents while on the go. In the current economic climate it seems a shame to miss potential sales just because we or our website developers haven't taken the time to test the site in browsers such as Safari, used by Apple phones.
If you have any doubts about how your website performs on mobile phones contact your website developer and ask them to test it in all known mobile browsers, as we do at Digital Paint.
