We have all rolled our eyes at least once when we heard someone say our cell phone would be the next internet platform of choice. Sometimes the best measure of the future is the actions of the mega companies.
Google has started following suit with Apple’s software add-on pay-per-app business strategy. I interpret this act as a strong indicator of Googles feelings regarding the future of cell phone internet useage.
What does this mean for you? As more applications become available for cell phone users, the more people will use their cell phones for commerce. If your web-site and/or blog site are not built for optimal cell phone viewing then you just may be selling your self short.
While it is impossible to tell the future, I doubt anyone would argue that mobile phones are being used more and more by people to browse the internet. Screen size limitations, flash exclusion, and tiny keyboards are just a few things to consider when updating your web properties.
Test your web page. Take a look at how your current web site looks on a cell phone then ask your self the following questions:
- Is the text readable?
- Is navigation easy?
- Can visitors easily dial your phone number?
Most new cell phones have the ability to dial phone numbers right off your website, but only if the cell phone can read the numbers? If your phone number is an image on your web page, then it becomes more difficult for visitors to click-and-call!
