Mobile Websites<br />
Mobile Websites are the easiest, most<br />
cost effective and quickest ways to get<br />
your business online.<br />
They are basically websites that use<br />
code so they will adjust to any mobile<br />
screen size to provide the best mobile<br />
experience.<br />
While traditional websites can be seen<br />
on mobiles (right image) visitors will<br />
have to scroll and zoom to try and get<br />
access to your information.<br />
Options<br />
• Fully searchable through search<br />
engines<br />
• Easy to make and deploy<br />
• Quick to update for specials etc.<br />
• Multi platform so only one build<br />
required because of their stretch<br />
and fit ability<br />
• Can contain interactive components<br />
like tap to call, maps, contact forms<br />
and more.<br />
p4<br />
Mobile Apps For Business<br />
Mobile apps are best suited when you<br />
have a large amount of interactive<br />
content with a large customer base.<br />
They are not multi platform so an<br />
individual app has to be created for<br />
each phone system and so can end up<br />
quite expensive.<br />
Unlike mobile websites they have to be<br />
processed through the various<br />
providers like Apple and so need to be<br />
developed properly for acceptance.<br />
Options<br />
• Optimized for separate mobile<br />
specific device<br />
• Offline viewing<br />
• Integration with the operating system<br />
So the question comes down to:<br />
Who is my customer?<br />
How do does my customer use<br />
mobile devices?<br />
What do we want customers to do<br />
as a result of this mobile effort?<br />

videos however from our experience<br />

Graphics for mobile websites.<br />
A couple of years ago when bandwidth<br />
was low it was suggested a mobile<br />
website page should not be any larger<br />
than 27 kb however today with better<br />
access this can be increased.<br />
It is important to note however that<br />
people will click away if it get to big so<br />
better to add larger graphics in a<br />
gallery etc.<br />
Most people will access a mobile<br />
website for three basic pieces of<br />
information.<br />
Contact, call and find a location so<br />
make sure these are dominant on your<br />

Responsive Design<br />
The term “responsive design” has gathered a lot of well-deserved buzz among Web<br />
designers. As you probably know, it refers to an easy way to dynamically customize<br />
interfaces for different devices and to serve them all from the same website, with no<br />
need for a separate mobile domain.<br />
Content Restructure<br />
When apply a responsive design it is important to consider the numerous types of<br />
visitors from pad to mobile users. For this reason it is important to not have large<br />
paragraphs or huge graphics.<br />
Wordpress as a platform<br />
Simply put, a responsive WordPress Theme is one that “responds” to the browser on<br />
which it is being viewed.<br />
While in the past this functionality was accomplished by utilizing a WordPress Plugins<br />
such as WPTouch, responsive themes are now being built to support the myriad of<br />
different screen sizes from smart phones to tablets to computers. See a sample of<br />
the Modernize Responsive theme<br />

QR Codes Big or Bust<br />
What is a QR Code<br />
A QR Code (stands for “Quick Response”) is a<br />
smart mobile phone readable barcode that’s<br />
been big in Japan forever, broke into Europe a<br />
while back, and is now getting traction in USA<br />
and Australia plus the rest of the world.<br />
A QR Code can contain a wide range of<br />
information and is being used by businesses<br />
all over the world as a marketing tool.<br />
It can be printed on nay material and will link<br />
your offline material to online content.<br />
This one links to a tourist site for Northern<br />
NSW.<br />
QR Codes can be created using any number of free online generators and for<br />
poster sizes look for one that will create a vector file.<br />
http://keremerkan.net/qr-code-and-2d-code-generator/<br />
Tracking for better marketing<br />
You can track QR Codes with a number of different systems like Google Analytics<br />
or QR Code tracking services. It is usually a matter of just adding some code to<br />
your Mobile Website to trigger the tracking which provides device, location and<br />
more.<br />
Videos on various QR Code Usage<br />

Sub Domain & Redirection<br />
Once you have built your mobile website it can be loaded into a folder or sub<br />
domain on your site. No need to buy a mobi domain. Google says the best sub<br />
domain is to use m.yourdomain.com<br />
When someone visits your desktop website you can add a small piece of code to<br />
redirect them to your mobile website for a better experience.<br />
One common method is to divide your website into two versions: desktop and<br />
mobile. For desktop/laptop users, the site looks like your "normal" version. For<br />
mobile and tablet users, they get a different version specifically for them.<br />
The most widely used redirection is simply to detect the screen size.<br />
The easiest way to auto-redirect your users is with a simple JavaScript code in the<br />
header of your HTML. You can detect screen size or go with the “user agent”<br />
approach.<br />
Screen size is nice because if the user has a small screen of any kind, the code<br />
redirects to the mobile version making it easier to navigate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you have a Wordpress or other CMS there are a myriad of plugins that do the<br />
same thing. Remember Google is your friend for finding various redirection scripts.<br />
This site gives a number of alternative options<br />

SMS Marketing<br />
SMS stands for short message server, otherwise known as text messaging.<br />
It's an area that is gaining a great deal of interest by businesses both small and<br />
large.<br />
Which of course is understandable, considering that 70% of the world population<br />
now have a mobile phone. In the United States alone that's 9 out of 10 people that<br />
carry a mobile device according to research done by MobiThinking.<br />
While it is true that consumers rarely receive texts from businesses and the cost is<br />
pennies per text messages, especially if purchased in bulk as a business it's<br />
important to do your due diligence before jumping in head first.<br />
Consumers see there mobile phone numbers as sacred, so you may find that many<br />
of them are not as apt to give you their cell phone number like they are their email<br />
address.<br />
Tips for SMS Marketing<br />
1. Use a reputable local SMS delivery system<br />
2. Use a double opt in for legal and security reasons<br />
3. Only send out exceptional deals so your readers will open<br />
4. Always provide an opt out link in your messages<br />
Once you've collected your mobile numbers, verified that you have followed all of<br />
your legal responsibilities you can start your your SMS marketing campaign. I'd<br />
suggest using a 3rd party service provider to ensure that you are able to track the<br />
return on investment for you campaign.<br />

Mobile Applications Cont.<br />
We have been keeping a close eye on the incredible growth in the use of mobile<br />
devices, and also on how small businesses are adapting to this unprecedented trend.<br />
For small businesses who are looking to get into mobile marketing, there are more<br />
options than ever before.<br />
Businesses are looking more and more at creating a stand-alone mobile presence to<br />
reach new customers and engage with existing customers. In some cases, a mobile<br />
website is the right choice, while in others it could mean developing a mobile app.<br />
How do you decide what’s best for your business? A blog post on Mashable includes an<br />
infographic from advertising agency MDG which offers some helpful advice and<br />
insights.<br />
The first and most important thing to bear in mind is that there is no single answer as<br />
to which of the two options is better – and for some businesses, a combination of both<br />
may be the best strategy. As the post outlines, it depends on your objectives and what<br />
the customer interaction consists of: studies reveal that when “shopping, searching<br />
and entertainment” are involved – in other words, when customers are looking to<br />
make a purchase or gather information – they prefer a mobile website. On the other<br />
hand, “they prefer mobile apps for managing data, navigation and connecting with<br />
others”.<br />
The blog post and infographic offer a helpful primer for anyone who is new to mobile<br />
websites and mobile apps, as well as a handy run-down of key considerations when<br />
choosing between the two.<br />
As with any platform or tactic, the guiding principles to keep in mind with mobile are<br />
to start with our objectives, plan how we’ll add value to the customer or prospect, and<br />
test and measure the results to see what works best.<br />

Mobile CMS<br />
Developing larger mobile websites may require a Content management system and<br />
this can be easily done with Wordpress and a special theme.<br />
Once our customers realize the power of mobile websites a few pages is just not<br />
enough so we needed to create a much more versatile system that would allow<br />
multiple pages and subpages, posts and categories.<br />
WordPress is a fantastic Content Management System that allows us to do all this<br />
and more. We can add numerous plugins to extend the functionality of the mobile<br />
website and create an interactive system for our visitors.<br />
By using Artisteer we can also customize the<br />
themes to match the original website and<br />
create a seamless integration.<br />

tourism site then Cabonne country is a great<br />
example.<br />
