I admit, this has been on my to do list now for about 3 years, make My Local Services more mobile friendly, but after recent email marketing runs, I've been surprised by the sheer number of Smart Phone responses. The question is now, what's the best way forward, a separate mobile site, create iphone or android apps? Its an area I'm not very clued up on, so be interesting to hear from any more mobile savvy owners.

Show off...
Hi, thanks for this, my website got 45% not bad, my husbands got 81%, his doesn't use many photos as it doesn't need to, my website depends on photos, so I think this makes a huge difference.
“0%, fully loaded homepage, view on an iphone and set to adjust automatically, so once again, apple users sorted, everyone else can go and whistle lol!” Atleast someone has their thinking cap on ;D the case may be the same for our site then ;3 seeing as everyone has an iphone here pahah I4Visual
48%, but a lot of the things they drew alerts to weren't such big calamities when I looked to see where they were. For example it didn't like that I have some links which are set to open in a new tab or window... but those are the tiny-weeny links at the bottom to external sites (the artist who drew the pictures, the designer who put the site together, and the standard link to WordPress.org) which, realistically, very few people are going to click. It also complained about there being an image map where only part of an image is a link... again, turns out this is the image that is at the top of every page, and the part of it which is a link is the email address. I can live with that, and I know the site does load quickly and correctly to all sorts of smartphones including but not limited to the iPhone. In answer to Steve's original questions, there's nothing wrong with an automatic redirect to a mobile version of the site (this is what Google and Wikipedia do - send mobiles to the mobile version which includes a link for people who'd prefer to view the "full" version. Personally, I don't like downloading apps for websites, unless it's something that I use a LOT (like the BBC news site). Certainly if I'm visiting a site for the first time following a mobile Google search, I'm not going to bother leaving the browser and downloading a huge app just to see if a page has useful information on it - I want the website to just work! So I think an app has to be in addition to, rather than instead of, a mobile-safe web page. VirtuallyMary
I'm 88%........... Do I win?? |
