The Importance of Making Your Site Mobile

We recently attended the X.Commerce conference in San Francisco and a key takeaway was the importance of websites being fully accessible by mobile devices. The line between retail and ecommerce sales is blurring by way of mobile devices. For example, a customer may be in the store shopping and will research the item online to see if they can find a better deal elsewhere before buying in person. If they find it, they will likely purchase the item via their mobile device foregoing the offer that is right in front of them.

We have had a great deal of success in converting existing websites to a mobile version. We no longer offer a mod for this due to the variances between devices and the intricacies within each site. However, we have found we can achieve this goal through custom work at a very reasonable and fair price. If you want assistance with making your site mobile, please feel free to contact us!

While at the conference, we concentrated mostly in the X.commerce and Magento tracks, learning a lot of insight into these new technologies and software. Several new and upcoming features and functionality from PayPal and eBay, Inc. was also presented and discussed.
