The Rise Of Mobile Compatible Websites

-

In the world, there are more than 3.7 billion internet users. 52.21% of the internet traffic generated by those users is currently occurring on mobile devices. This is an increase from the 42.16% occurring on mobile the previous year. The increase is a trend that has been tracked for the last several years and has finally tipped over the 50% mark. According to Forrester’s recent 2018 mobile predictions report, this trend is likely to continue. Forbes recently published an article in response to that report which made a number of predictions for mobile’s role in 2018. In the article, Forbes predicts that this development in mobile traffic could mean that mobile devices are beginning to take on the role as the “Core to digital ecosystems” going into 2018. Because over half of online traffic is now mobile, one of the predictions Forbes makes in their article is that many companies will need to focus on developing their websites, apps and technologies to provide excellent mobile experiences. There are several newly developing mobile technologies, like virtual reality, that companies have started focusing on because they count toward an overall mobile experience. But, Forbes recommends companies pay attention to the basic mobile experiences they provide in websites and apps. With mobile being the new core of digital ecosystem, website developers will also need to build new mobile experiences that fit with emerging web and consumer standards. Without websites or other online experiences that cater to the majority of internet traffic, companies may start to lose business to other websites that can be a functional landing page on smartphones, tablets, and PCs interchangeably.

This might seem like a daunting prediction for companies that do not currently have mobile compatible websites. Companies that do not have the time to keep updating their website according to emerging standards might also start to worry that the increase in traffic will thwart their previous mobile efforts. But, Forbes also mentions companies may need to start relying on other agencies to help maintain their mobile experiences.

  The Benefits Of Direct Placement® For Photographers & Videographers The photography and videography industries lie at a bit of a crossroads as we move into a new year and a new era. Though temporarily stifled by the pandemic, both industries are expected to bounce back and see significant growth moving forward. According to the U.S. Bureau Of Labor Statistics, growth in these industries are projected to be well above the average for all occupations . That being said, the trends for these industries do have some variables that are worth noting. The biggest being the rise of quality cameras on mobile phones. This has made high-quality images and videos highly accessible to the common person. For example, the iPhone 13 has features that were previously unavailable on mobile devices, such as depth of field and increased low light performance. This trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Another thing to consider for these industries is that the barrier to entry has basically been re

The Benefits of Direct Placement® On Google For Vacation Rentals It’s no secret that historic losses amidst the pandemic in 2020 affected the entire vacation rental industry, and travel economics as a whole.
