goMobi and Google to help UK companies get on the mobile Web

vance — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 11:35:46 +0000

dotMobi confirmed as mobile website vendor under Google’s GetMo initiative to open mobile Web to all UK businesses

Mobile Web pioneer dotMobi today announced that it is a confirmed vendor for Google’s GetMo programme. GetMo aims to help UK businesses establish a presence on the mobile Web and, since 2010, dotMobi’s goMobi mobile website builder has allowed businesses to create sophisticated mobile websites with an easy-to-use cloud service.

Google is emphasizing the importance of having a mobile site so that companies can capitalize on the growth in mobile traffic. Google reported a 166 percent increase in mobile searches for top retail brands last Christmas in the UK. However, some 79 percent of large UK online advertisers had no mobile site to serve that traffic. Without a mobile site, mobile users will simply go elsewhere. Google’s Jason Spero recently said that, with approximately 15 percent of all Web traffic now mobile, not having a mobile site is like closing a website one day a week.

Eileen O’Sullivan COO of dotMobi, said, “We’re delighted to join Google’s GetMo initiative to further promote adoption of the mobile Web. We’ve been in mobile Web since its beginning, so we understand websites need to deliver a local, personal and mobile-specific experience to customers. Mobile is not desktop made smaller. It’s a different medium and needs a different approach. We believe goMobi offers the best option to customers.”

Currently, goMobi is available to businesses at a 40 percent discount through UK-based Easyspace, with a “try it for free” option. goMobi offers a full range of mobile-specific features for businesses to get on the mobile Web immediately, including click-to-call, m-commerce support, Google maps and directions, social networking and custom analytics. goMobi sites can be created in a matter of minutes and are fully compatible with all devices, including desktop computers, tablets like the iPad and all smartphones.

Recent research has shown mobile traffic is growing exponentially; enabling features like these on mobile sites helps ensure increased site visits and sales for local businesses.

In turn, site visitors can choose any of 14 languages for a “machine” translation of the site, ensuring your site is easy for you to create and easy for customers around the world to read.

Award-winning mobile website builder goMobi now available via Parallels platform for Web services providers

Mobile Web pioneer dotMobi harnesses the power of the Application Packaging Standard in bringing goMobi to 10,000-plus Parallels Web services providers and resellers

dotMobi today announced the availability of its cloud-based goMobi® service on the industry-leading Parallels® virtualization and automation platform for Web services providers. goMobi offers a quick, easy and inexpensive way for businesses to create mobile websites with a great user experience on practically any mobile device.

With mobile browsing predicted to eclipse desktop traffic by 2014, goMobi brings the power of the mobile Web in the form of an easy-to-use Web application.

Mobile-only features like click to call, mapping, QR codes and integration with social networks as well as location-based services help engage customers and build long-term relationships. As Google recently noted, 61% of users make a call to a local business after using a mobile phone to search for services, and the mobile user experience can directly affect a customer’s perception of a business. goMobi also includes device detection so those who access a business’ desktop site on a mobile device are seamlessly redirected to the goMobi site, where the experience is tailored to their specific mobile phone.

Mobile Web pioneer dotMobi today announced the enhancement of its award-winning DeviceAtlas® service with DeviceAtlas Cloud, a new version that helps designers, developers, agencies and Web companies optimize content for mobile devices by enabling faster, easier and more cost-effective device detection.
