eLogicWay’s web team can help you reach targeted visitors on the handheld devices they use to reach your business. We build a mobile site to pair with your existing website.

When looking at having a mobile friendly website there are a few things to consider

Usually a mobile website design project comes about through one of the following circumstances:

• It’s a brand new website in need of both a desktop and mobile strategy.
• It’s a redesign of an existing website, which will include a new mobile site.
• It’s an addition of a mobile site to an existing desktop site, which won’t be changing.

Each of these circumstances brings a different set of requirements, which will help you determine the best way forward  .

As a general rule of thumb when converting a desktop site design to mobile format, you want to simplify things wherever possible. There are several reasons for this.

• Keeping file size and load times down is always a good idea for a mobile site.
• Wireless connections — while faster than years past — are still relatively slow, so the faster your mobile site loads, the better.
• Cost to the mobile user. Data packages on mobile devices are traditionally more expensive then on home or office account.
• Usability considerations on the mobile web also call for a simplified approach to design, layout, and navigation.
• With less screen real estate at your disposal, you need to choose your placement of elements wisely. In short: Less is more.

With so many new mobile devices being released every year, the days of checking your site in a few web browsers and launching are over. You’ll need to optimize your site for a vast landscape of desktop and mobile browsers, each bringing a different screen resolution, supported technologies, and user-base.

Does your site have a lot of information that needs to be presented on the mobile site? We practice  the best way to organize things in a simple and digestible way is to set up a collapsible navigation. Taking your single-column structure a step further, you can stack chunks of large content in folding modules that allow the user to tap open the content that they’re interested in and hide the rest.

On the mobile web, interaction is done via finger taps rather than mouse clicks. This creates a very different dynamic in terms of usability.

When converting from a desktop to mobile site design, you have to revisit your “clickable” elements — links, buttons, menus, etc. — and make them “tappable.” While the desktop web lends itself well to links with small and precise active (clickable) areas, the mobile web requires larger, chunkier buttons that can be easily pressed with a thumb.

No problem, just send us a quick email below and we would be happy to do an evaluation of your website showing you what mobile users see when they visit your site.   You’ll get a quick video walking you through an explanation of what your customers are seeing as well as some recommendations.

At that point, being armed with this new information you can certainly take on the task yourself (it’s not overly difficult if you’re a bit tech savvy), or you’re always welcome to hire us.

Just fill out the form below, include your business website URL and contact information (ie. who to send the evaluation to, etc.) and we’ll get to work on that for you!
