What is goMobi™?
Designed by dotMobi, goMobi™ makes your business easily available to mobile users with a fast and easy mobile website. Its intuitive and easy-to-use interface allows customers to get immediate access on their mobile phone to all the key information about your business and lets them contact you with just one click or touch.
Why do I need a mobile website?
Most websites will not work on a mobile phone. They are slow to load, hard to view and do not offer the right kind of experience for customers on-the-go. By 2013, there will be an estimated 4.5 billion mobile phone users worldwide using their phones to surf the Internet and look for information and services.†† If your business is not on the mobile Web, your customers will not be able to find you.
How are mobile websites different than PC sites?
Mobile websites are built to exploit the special characteristics of mobile phones and mobile users to provide the best possible experience to users. Besides adapting to the smaller screen of a mobile phone, they are also made easier to navigate using touch or a keypad and provide more direct access to the information that a customer is more likely to need while on the go.
I already have a PC website. Can I direct customers from that website to my mobile site?
Yes, you can automatically redirect mobile devices from your desktop site to your mobile website. This option will be available for existing Web.com UK® Website Builder Tool customers.
Does the mobile website require a .mobi domain name?
No, a
.mobi domain name is not required. A third level domain will be provided automatically for you. However, if you purchase a mobile website powered by dotMobi™ any domain can be used with your site. Free Trial customers will use the auto-generated third level domain.
I already own a domain. Can I use it with my mobile website?
The mobile website comes with a custom uk.web.com domain. If you already own an existing domain and purchase a mobile website powered by dotMobi™ you can point it to your mobile site. Free Trial customers will use the auto-generated third level domain.
What are the benefits of a mobile website to my customers?
Studies show that visitors who access a full website on their mobile phones complain about how much time and data is required to load the site and how hard it is to find the information they need. Most will abandon the site and look for a competitor with a more mobile-friendly website.
How is the mobile website built?
You get access to the user-friendly goMobi™ Set Up Assistant that allows you to create your site in minutes and change it whenever you want. Another great feature of your goMobi™ site is that some of the content from your full website (if you have one) can be populated for you with such information as your telephone number, address and logo.
What is included in the mobile website package?
The mobile website powered by dotMobi™ includes hosting of the site and unlimited access to the Set Up Assistant to modify your site all for less than £6 a month.
