Business has changed with the invention of the Smartphone. Just the other day while sitting in a meeting at a customer's site trying to schedule the follow up meeting, every single person in the room jumped on their Smartphone to check availability and schedules. Even while pulling up the calendar app on my hot pink Blackberry Tour I suddenly realized how instant our society is. Shortly after this occurrence while sitting in our biweekly staff meeting, I glanced around the room at the ACES engineers and noticed that 90% of them where busy checking their email, surfing the net or updating their facebook status as they waited for the meeting to begin. Just a few years ago you wouldn't have seen this, but now this Smartphone behavior is commonplace.
 Being able to access instant information from anywhere with a cell signal is a phenomenon that's here to stay. With this in mind, it only makes sense for businesses to develop a separate mobile website in addition to their main site since many people will access your website for the first time with a Smartphone. While it's true that currently mobiles sites are not the norm, a future is coming when mobile sites will be expected. Why not stay ahead of the curve with a little plugin that we utilize at AMT2 to dynamically create a mobile website.
This plugin pulls content from your website and reformats it to fit all mobile browsers. The design and layout is adjustable and the information included is determined by you in the initial setup. A nice feature is that the mobile site is automatically updated when the regular website is updated. This means no extra editing time for you. This is great when coupled with a weekly blog as the new post will automatically show up on the mobile site allowing your readers to read on a break, at the coffee shop or when time allows. The mobile site also makes address, phone numbers and contact information easily accessible from anywhere. Another benefit of working with AMT2 to set up and deploy a mobile website is that we will create a unique mobile domain for you. Mobile sites are now being recognized with m. instead of www. At AMT2 we will make sure your site is found with this mobile signature. If you are interested in a more information about a mobile website or are thinking about having a site developed by AMT2, then call us today to get started.
