Mobile Phone Compatible Website … Today, For Most Businesses, It's No Longer An Option With So Many People Accessing The Internet From Their Mobile Phone!
A lot of people use their smart phone to access the internet! You have to consider, they have their phone with them 24/7. They take it with them every where!
When they have a need like getting a flat tire fixed, or their drain unclogged, or their car door unlocked or whatever it's their smart phone that they have on them that they use to find a business to help them out.
Or they see an advertisement while on their lunch break they want to check out or they're hungry while out running around or they need a quick haircut, it's again their handy smart phone that's always with them that they use to find a business.
Internet searches have almost reached the number of searches being done by a PC. It's estimated that by 2013 there will be more searches from smart phone than a PC.
That's also why Google is putting a tremendous amount of resources toward services that cater to mobile phone users. For example, mobile phone compatible websites are getting a higher ranking than non when searched by a smart phone. That would only make sense.
As we move forward, you're going to continue seeing a lot of changes — and new technology being introduced — to support the mobile phone user.

When you do use images, they should be much smaller and have a larger compression so the load faster and don't take up as much data when the user goes to your site.
