Be MOBILE Friendly

Why should you consider making your site mobile friendly? More and more people are turning to wireless technologies for their business needs when they are away from traditional access. Today's PDAs are very web friendly and there are many tasks that can be done with them.

For instance, I frequently pair my PDA and my cell phone (when I'm not near a wireless access point) and go online for directions, or if I need to check email in my office. Its easy, efficient and the many mobile friendly sites are making it more attractive to PDA users like myself.

Want to may your site mobile friendly? All it takes is a snippit of coding inserted in the tags of your site.

Replace the mymobile with your site's mobile section. For instance, for my site, I redirect mobile users to www.thebestva.com/rssmobile/index.html. It is much easier than the mobile user typing it all out.

Be sure and keep your mobile site very light, and easy to load. Remember, the web capabilities of many of the mobile devices aren't as advanced as our regular browsers. Lets make them something that fits easily in their screen.

Thank you!
