Mobile Website for Auto Body Shop

mobile websiteThere are certain businesses which cannot be without a mobile website. If your services are urgent, or emergency this is a must. There are choices in a mobile website design and structure — the goal is to find what fits your budget and needs. You can redo your existing website to transform to mobile deives with style sheets, but the cost is substantial.  A simpler choice if you have limited content on your website (like a 20-30 page website) is to create a standalone sub-domain, mobile website.  It’s time efficient which translates into cost savings for business owners and will reflect your full website.

Choices!

Mobile Website

With the release of the iPhone5, once again, mobile websites are spotlighted.  The huge sales of mobile phones remind us of another opportunity for business advertisement.

The beauty of many Smartphones and iPhones is the way you can view most full websites.   But when your mobile phone plans don’t allow unlimited data use the user will be glad to have the option of viewing a mobile website.  My own mobile website is a brief touchstone.

A mobile website is designed to keep everything small – no large graphics; but more importantly  to get your contact information immediately in front of the visitor with phone numbers clickable, maps directly linked to Google.  Using the tools to help the client to connect with your business easily.

If your business has emergency issues – auto related, medical, dental, etc. – a mobile website can reach yet more people on their phones quicker.

As your business grows online a mobile website is another piece of the plan.
