They had no idea that 4 years of research would pay off so well.
Matter of fact, not even the brain child of the Redmond start up knew the 10K in seed money would ever hit a home run.
Seattle Software’s mobile division known as Seattle Mobile Designs, has become the first webdesign firm to lead the “mobile race” to develop a mobile solution that not only works on the 5 major smart phones such as I-phone and Blackberry, but on all 1908 smart devices world wide. An impossible task unless of course you are Phil Fischer, and you have access to code from each of the major smart phone manufacturer’s.
What does this mean?
It means when consumers look up your company website on a mobile device, they will no longer be greeted with funky websites that are to large to fit, and hard to read, that eventually frustrates them enough to back out and re-search. On Seattle Mobile Designs’s new sites, they will see a small, easy to read and to navigate website using all of Fischer’s juicy secrets that his client’s have been benefiting from for years.
Phil Fischer, the famed developer and CEO of Seattle Software, even admits that he had no idea the investment he planted years ago into the fledgling .com would hit the bulls eye.
“It’s not very often you have money to spare and in 2008 I was broke as a joke”, Fischer laughs, “But I knew mobile websites were important, so I funded it”.
Fischer’s bug on the wall at Google and Microsoft have paid off.
Seattle Mobile Designs not only has the code that stretches on all devices, but they also have the color combination code, which every web designer in the universe would die to get their hands on; colors Google has linked to industries that consumers prefer to see. In other words, Seattle Mobile Designs knows what colors consumers want to see on a website based on industry, and thanks to Fischer’s contact at Microsoft, his coders also know the size of the links consumers are more likely to click on as well. Add that with Fischer’s GEO mapping and you have what is turning into the industry standard mobile solution.
Juniper Research estimates that the number of mobile web users will grow from 1.2 billion this year to more than 2.4 billion in 2014. While some of these users will be able to surf the web just as they do on their desktop and laptop computers, hundreds of millions of others will be using smart phones with tiny screens and limited bandwidth and navigation. As 4G grows, this will grow off the charts meaning that mobile designs are now a must for businesses online.
“Consumers are simply searching from Androids and I-phones for just about anything today”, said Joshua Ader, lead developer at Seattle Mobile Designs. “These consumers want to see a website that fits and is easy to click on. If businesses don’t have a mobile website they are loosing 55% of searches and that makes it a game changer. Consumers calling us and ordering online have become the forerunners of a new revolution and they will reap the benefits of appearing on top of the mobile search engines. It’s first come, first rank!”
Seattle Mobile Designs is located next to Microsoft in Redmond, Washington.
