You Know It’s Big When…

Things start showing up in your web stats. For the longest time I have been advising businesses online to pay attention to mobile devices.

We need to make our websites friendly or at the very least friendlier to tiny screens. That includes me. Yes, I know my blog displays wrong on mobile screens right now. And, the homepage popup is very mobile unfriendly. They’ll be fixed. Very, very soon. Hopefully, that’ll done by the time you read this.

I tell ya, there has never been a bigger incentive to do so until I saw mobile browsers appearing in my web stats. They are at the moment a small percentage. But a percentage nonetheless. It’s even more glaring when mobile browsers weren’t anywhere in the stats in previous months. It’s only going to get bigger.

It is time to grab your web designer and tell them to make your sites play well with tiny screens. What if you maintain your own pages? Then come back tomorrow and I’ll share a few things I’ve learned while making my own sites mobile friendly.

    Just purchased my first phone that has a web browser, haven’t been able to use it yet because the data service is down in my area, but I know that this is something many people do now.

    Congrats on your purchase Alyssa. I hope it serves you well. I never thought I’d be using the Internet on my PDA that much but I do. So yeah. I don’t think we can escape/ignore mobile users very much longer. Nor should we.

    I checked only one of my sites in a small browser (the LifeDrive!) and it looked good. But I know I need to check the rest of them and make sure they are okay.

    Oh and the only reason I checked that site is because I know a friend of mine reads on her phone. Time to look at the stats closer!
