Sydney - 15th October 2008 - MIA today launches QuickSites, a powerful yet easy to use mobile internet publishing toolkit that offers organisations and agencies a cost effective solution to build sophisticated mobile internet solutions in-house. QuickSites enable anyone to quickly design and develop mobile sites using simple tools to deliver sophisticated functionality from existing design, creative and copy from traditional and online marketing.
Richard Mergler, CEO MIA commented, "Today we all rely upon our mobile phone for far more than a simple phone call. We use SMS messaging, MMS picture delivery and we download ringtones, wallpapers and screensavers, as well as browsing our favourite sites on the go and sending and receiving emails. The launch of more web-based handsets such as the Apple iPhone and increasing 3G adoption has seen mobile content consumption snowball. This trend to increased mobility has seen many organisations and agencies recognise the need to adapt their online offerings to cater to the increasing mobile market and engage with audiences on the go, but are unsure of how to go about it or find the cost prohibitive.
"The issue has long been the effective publishing of materials to the mobile platform to deliver an engaging and rewarding experience to the consumer. At MIA we have over 5 years experience in this sector and recognised the need to cater to organisations and agencies that require a cost effective solution to manage their mobile internet assets in-house."
QuickSites features five key functions for the design, build and deployment of a mobile site; 1. Element Creator - allows the flexible creation of unique elements - the building blocks of your mobile site, designed to work by containing the complex code in manageable blocks 2. Site Builder - A simple What You See Is What You Get (WASIWYG) interface to build your mobile site using element drag and drop functionality 3. Site Simulator - allows you to view your site rendered as if on screen on over 5000 mobile handsets, demonstrating the differing appearance on different devices 4. Content Manager - allows the management of mobile assets so that you can offer videos, ringtones, wallpapers and games for upload from your mobile site 5. Reporting Manager - allows you to measure and analyse the mobile site traffic and monitor interactions - this can be run as a scheduled report or on an ad-hoc basis The result of these simple yet powerful tools is a unique and functional site that will be the envy of many development houses created in-house at a fraction of the cost in less than an hour.
QuickSites is built upon proven technology using MIA's Media Village Platform that has seen the successful design and deployment of over 1100 services, many for large mobile carriers across the globe - delivering in excess of 2.5 million mobile assets per month.
Mergler concludes, "QuickSites is a powerful product that will revolutionise the creation of mobile assets for organisations wishing to manage their mobile properties in house, creative agencies wanting to leverage their existing work for the mobile internet or mobile advertising agencies wanting to streamline their mobile ad production. The mobile era is truly upon us and QuickSites will allow many more organisations to leverage this exciting new medium."
