Over 70% of the worlds population now have a mobile phone, that’s over 5 billion mobile subscribers, and in places like the US, it’s 9 in 10 people.

So how’s your smart phone marketing strategy working out? Smart phone internet statistics aren’t getting lower, they are getting HUGE. So how does your website look on a smartphone?

If you’re looking at this website from a computer, scroll down to the bottom left of this page and click the ” Switch to our mobile site” text link (then click the “Switch to our desktop site” at the bottom of that page to return to this version of the page). You will see this page change drastically. The page is much thinner, the buttons have been converted into a button bar called “Navigate”, and the page header is completely different.

But on a smart phone it looks perfect. So now you can see how your “regular” website will look. Sure, you might be able to see it, but you’ll have to zoom in to read the text, some Flash files won’t play, it’s hard to click the tiny looking buttons, which look great on your computer.
