Jupiter Recommends Mobile Sites
A new Jupiter Research study suggests that companies stronly consider develop mobile web sites for their businesses. Here's a quote from Mark Walsh's article on the study:Jupiter advises companies to optimize their mobile sites for both mass-market and high-end devices. That means designing both more WAP and HTML versions of sites, especially since most phones don't yet support full Web browsing. Given the limitations of the mobile screen, controlling the volume of site content is key--as is providing functionality that lets users share content like photos and video clips.
When it comes to budgeting, be prepared to pay anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 to build a basic mobile site. And since cell phones are well-designed for online search, promoting the mobile version on the wired site is also advised, along with pushing out links through text messages.
So... did I mention that Mofon mobile sites are free???

Mobile Site Redirect Script
We just added a PHP script you can download from the Administration menu and paste into your regular web site's home page. The result is that mobile visitors to your regular web site will be redirected to your Mofon site, while visitors on computers will continue to see your regular web site.Give it a try!
