Aspects to consider about your website...

Should your website be smartphone friendly?

Absolutely! With smartphones becoming ever cheaper, more and more people own and use them daily to browse the internet. People are more likely to own a smartphone than a laptop / tablet computer. A quick search on the web will overwhelm you with statistics at how rapid smartphone growth is or simply take a look at your own family. I suspect most, especially the younger members if not all own a smartphone.

How does this affect you?

If your website is not smartphone (mobile) compatible you will lose customers to your competition, who have adjusted to meet this demand. Just having your website shrink to fit in the screen space of a mobile device is not enough. The text can be far too small to view comfortably, links too close together to select, buttons too small or close together and the images too big using more 3g/4g bandwidth. This again will lose you potential clients. You need to ensure your website is fully mobile compatible to allow smartphone users to fully benefit from their device's functionality, which allows them to engage with you quicker and easier.

How do you know your website is getting visitors?

One of the best solutions is Website Statistics

What can Website statistics do to help me?

Statistics specific to your site can provide you with crucial information about various aspects of your website visitors. For example: how many people have visited your site, first time and repeat visits. More importantly, for most of us they provide information on how people found your site. This allows you to see if your advertisers are working for you, if your SEO is working, what information people are entering in their searches and with respect to Google what position in the result list you appeared for that search, on that day. This information is crucial in helping to identify if your advertising budget is well spent. You can use it as a tool to help identify areas for improvement in your advertising campaigns and much more.

How can I get this information about my website?

I can setup various web statistic packages from free or paid, third party or my own solution. Each has it's various positives and negatives, Please contact me to discuss all the options in details to help you make the right decision for your particular situation.

A few real world examples

Successful Hotels, Bed & Breakfast and Gites owners:

Allow customers to check availability of rooms, make a reservation and pay deposit or full amount with an online payment provider. Customers have busy lives and prefer to receive an answer straight away without having to wait for a reply from an email or telephone enquiry, as they may be making a reservation from another time zone. It also helps you to keep track of payments, easily produce reports and help to manage the day to day operation of your business.

Cattery / Kennel owners or Doggy Daycare providers

These businesses can use their own web applications or software to keep track of the animals they look after by having a system to manage customers and pets. The website can be set up to see who is due in and record any special requirements the pets may have, vaccinations renewals. Any specialist services you may provide can also be shown, as well as allowing businesses to keep track of payments and various other usefull information.
