Press Release Body: Troy, Mich., May 8, 2007 - Awecomm Web Strategies (AWS) -a Troy, Michigan-based provider of web design and web marketing services -announced today that they will now provide mobile website design services to their growing customer base.
With more users every day browsing the web on their cell phones and mobile devices (Blackberries, Treos, Motorola Qs, etc), it is becoming more and more essential for organizations to address the mobile user group.
"People could come in contact with your brand at any time, and if they're looking for information about you, you'd better be able to provide it to them." said Chris Spiek, AWS Managing Partner. "If I meet someone for the first time in a meeting, I'll pull up their website as I walk out; if I drive by an interesting billboard, I pull up the website at the next stoplight; if I'm listening to someone speak at a conference, I'm checking out their website at the same time."
Unfortunately at this point, many businesses have not made the leap to address the mobile user's needs. In order to make the design process cost-effective and painless, Awecomm has developed a methodology that gathers most of the content for the mobile website from the organization's main site.
This approach to mobile website development is focused on very slimmed-down content that loads quickly and is easy to browse on a mobile device. "Our testing has shown that in most cases users just want to get a quick overview of who you are and what you do. If you get your message across, they'll come back for more," said Mark Warren, a Senior Software Developer at Awecomm who was part of the new product development group.
One of the first organizations to take advantage of the service offering was Jervis B. Webb Company, a world leader in developing innovative material handling technology and systems. "It is important that we use the latest technology to reach this growing group of mobile users," said Sarah Carlson, Marketing Manager for the Jervis B. Webb Company. "Plant managers and engineers could be anywhere when they determine that they need information about our company and products." The Jervis B. Webb Company mobile website can be viewed by browsing to www.jervisbwebb.com/mobile on a mobile device.
Awecomm has been providing development and design services on mobile devices since 2002 with project ranging from data storage applications for the U.S. Government on Windows CE devices to wireless CCTV camera viewing applications on the Pocket PC platform.
