What We Do
Thirdoor Mobile Site Development is a custom mobile site development company in Newport Beach, CA. Thirdoor will use the structure and design of your current site to create a mobile site with the iPhone’s interface in mind. Your original website will continue to function as normal for PC users, however those accessing via their mobile device will experience a new and easy way to discover your website. Your new mobile site will be designed to bring an interactive experience to not only iPhone users, but those with other Internet capable devices (BlackBerry, Palm, Droid, etc.)
Why do I need a mobile compatible site?
Smartphones are changing the way the world is not only communicating, but how users are accessing the Internet. In a recent study by comScore, “More than forty percent of iPhone users already use their phones more than PCs to access the Web”. Currently the number of subscribers using mobile Internet services is approximately 577 million – this number is expected to top 1.7 billion by 2013. Another study done by Juniper Research estimates that “Internet access by mobile phones will represent around 50% of the total internet usage.” Just as the Internet changed the way the world interacts, now Smartphones are changing the way the world interacts with the Internet.
Why do I need a mobile site now?
Mobile sites may seem like a new idea to you – and they are – one that is about to explode and change the way our world accesses information. According to a study by comScore, “the number of people using their mobile device to access news and information on the Internet more than doubled from January 2008 to January 2009. Among the audience of 63.2 million people who accessed news and information on their mobile devices in January 2009, 22.4 million (35 percent) did so daily; more than double the size of the audience last year.” “Over the course of the past year, we have seen use of mobile Internet evolve from an occasional activity to being a daily part of people’s lives,” observed Mark Donovan, senior vice president, mobile, comScore. “This underscores the growing importance of the mobile medium as consumers become more reliant on their mobile devices to access time-sensitive and utilitarian information.”
What’s the difference between my current site and a mobile compatible site?
Most aspects of your current browser based website will be visible and accessible on a mobile device, however current framwork/design (Flash Applications, images, small type, links, etc.), can make interaction difficult for your users. Through the design of a mobile site, users will be able to access more information, more quickly and more easily – giving them a reason to come back. A mobile site gives a clean, simplified version of your current site, with the same styles, making it 100% you, but also, 100% easy to use!
Why is my site designed specifically for the Apple iPhone?
The iPhone’s popularity has taken the world by storm, with sales continuing to increase each quarter, pushing past those of other Smartphones. “The iPhone clearly set the trend in the industry for touchscreen devices, so it’s no surprise that it has the largest share of the market,” and the largest share of users accessing the Internet on a daily basis. The iPhone platform is setting a new standard for web access that your site can be a part of.
