Why you need to make your website mobile friendly

The writing is on the wall and even more writing is in the palm of your best prospects hands.  Take a look around you.  Everyone is surfing the mobile web.

This is especially important in the housing business.  People look for homes and information while they are mobile.  (For god-sake please pull over before you type in that URL!)

By 2013, annual global IP traffic will reach two-thirds of a zettabyte, according to a forecast of IP traffic issued by Cisco. What is a zettabyte? It is a trillion gigabytes, dummy. (I had to look that up too). 

Mobile internet is the fastest growing segment.

Why are mobile visitors going to your site?  Most of the time, they are looking for specific information that they need while on the go - your phone number or directions to your office.  How many times have you used the Internet to look up a phone number or get an address?

For real estate agents, presenting your listings, formatted for a mobile device is essential.  Often listings are accessible via an RSS feed.  An RSS feed can be easily integrated into a mobile friendly version of your website.

Creating a small website designed for the tiny mobile web screen will give your prospects more reason to do business with you.  You will make it easy for them to get the information they need.

What will it cost?  I am making mobile friendly basic websites for as little as $99 set up fee and $19.95 per month.  Just give me your existing website address and sign up for the free trial, and I will set up a mobile friendly version of your site.
