NEW iphone Launched

Apple have just launched the NEW apple iphone. It is now twice as fast for downloading via 3G mobile networks. I guess you are wondering why this is getting mentioned on this site. Well its quite simple, the Internet is going mobile.

Have you considered that your website might not be viewed correctly for iphone users. Think of it this way: what if someone wants to buy a product or service from you and they are on the move, they are using a mobile device like an Apple iphone. Your website cannot be viewed to work via mobile devices. You are missing out on their custom and possible repeat business too.

Website optimsiation is about conversion too

Website optimisation is not just working on getting the site as high up the SERP’s as you can its also about conversion too. That’s the crux of any Internet campaign; generating business. You may think it is difficult to make your website work on several platforms, in fact it is relatively easy. The main things to remember are screen size and on-page flash. These are the two main things that you need to considered when designing a page that will work on the iphone.

There are great additions that you can add to you pages that work fantastically well when viewing the page on the iphone. Did you know you can add a piece of code on a web page email or telephone number so if used by the iphone user it will automatically open the email client or alternatively call the number directly just by clicking on the number.

The iphone allows browsers to flip and expand web pages. Users can view entire web pages at a glance or zoom in to read specific text. Remember to simplify your website. All the critical information on your website should no go beyond XHTML Basic – which is all that some mobile devices can handle.

I would suggest creating a separate page for mobile customers, but make sure they can easily find this page. Creating a separate site is crucial if your main site is complex and you find that many of your customers are using mobile devices to access your page.

This article will be added to to explain more about what you can do to make small changes to your site that will directly benefit your clients and potential clients who use iphones for browsing your site.
