Accountancy mobile websites

Mobile Websites for Accountancy Firms

In our recent blog post we wrote about the 4 things to consider when looking at mobile website. By the end of 2013 mobile phones will overtake PC’s as the most common web access device in the world.

Surprised?

We probably shouldn’t be as mobile devices outnumber PC and Laptops combined. That means that your website will be viewed more by mobile visitors than desktop visitors.

So it’s perhaps a little scary to think that over 95% of accountancy websites are not mobile enabled! And that many website agencies are still designing websites for desktop first and not mobile.

Mobile is local

Something that should interest every regional accountancy firm is that according to Google research over half of local searches are performed on mobile devices.

So if you want to reach and interact with your clients and prospect when and where they are most receptive, and in ways that they expect then you need to consider your website and how it looks and appears to the growing number of smartphone users.

And if its not enabled for mobile users, then the visitors will simply leave. That’s what will be happening right now, on your current site if it’s not mobile enabled
