Old Website and New Mobile Devices

Everybody has a smartphone or a cell phone these days. How are you going to use your mobile devices for more than just making phone calls and wasting time?

Start thinking about these tools like business tools and not just toys. Sure, you can go to youtube and watch the latest viral video, but others are taking a look at the changes going on in mobile with a business mindset.

One of the first things to think about are the websites.  There are tons of websites online and more people are setting them up.  A website built a long time ago, but not really updated is behind the times.  

People are connecting to the internet with mobile devices and they are looking at the web with smaller screens.  The old webpages might show up, but they won't look good.  People are not going to wait around on a bad looking website, there are too many other choices online.

There might be a business opportunity in updating old websites to the new mobile website optimization.  It might first take some time learning about mobile sites and the programming languages that are used.  You might also find that some newer development tools have mobile optimization already built in.  Take a look at wordpress plugins and the joomla web development platform.  

What if you don't know about all this mobile stuff and you don't want to learn it all?  You might still have a chance as a lead generator.  You might still be able to locate and find the sites that need updating.  Do you think companies that do mobile web design would be interested in talking to these prospects?  They just might.  

Start looking at things from the business view.
