Mobile-Friendly Websites
More than 50% of all "local" searches are done from a mobile device. If you're a "local" business, it is increasingly important that your website delivers a good (and fast) experience for users who prefer smartphones or tablets like the iPad to search for cosmetic surgeons in their area.
Strategic Edge creates mobile websites that work beautifully on the iPad, iPhone, and Android devices. The interface looks and feels like an "app" to the user. The best feature? You never have to update your content, images, or photo gallery twice!
You can see a demo of our mobile-friendly website by going to this link on your smartphone or iPad: www.realpatientratings.com
With a mobile version of your website, your patients can:
- Read and learn about your procedures
- Dial directly from the mobile website and schedule their appointment
- Email you directly from the application
- Easily browse your before & after gallery
- Connect with your Facebook page
Why should I get a mobile-friendly website and not an App?
If you were to purchase an App for your practice, your customer would still have to go to the App Store, search for the App, and download the App to their device.
A mobile site doesn't require anyone to hunt or download and doesn't ask them to take up precious disk space on their device.
For the owner of the App, you're required to go through the design process, send content and photos, and send separate updates to the App developer as changes need to be made. Once your App is done, you have to market the App separately to get users to download it and use it.
How is a "mobile-compatible" website different from "mobile-friendly" website?
Even if your website was already mobile-compatible and loads perfectly on a mobile device, a user may still have to zoom in to click on links and read text.
The mobile-friendly website has larger menus and easier navigation for smartphones, just like an app. You don't have zoom to click menu buttons or read the text, because it's optimized for the phone or tablet.
Users can click the phone number directly from the mobile site and dial the office directly.
Other benefits:
- Consider that when your office emails back and forth with patients, the patient may be using their phone for email. This mobile website allows them to have a fantastic experience with your website while they are communicating with you.
- No zooming or squinting to see your web content! Pages are formatted perfectly for easy reading on any mobile device.
- Seamless updates mean you only have to make changes once, not in multiple places.
