How Often Should You Upgrade Your Website? Part 3 of 6

91% of Americans use a cell phone daily.  That’s 9 out of every 10 people in America!  If you are thinking on a global basis, 61% of all the people in the world have a cell phone.  That’s 4.6 BILLION people!  Need we say more - your website needs to be optimized to display efficiently and effectively on a mobile device.

This being said there is a big difference in both the methodology and cost between a mobile app and optimizing your website to display on a mobile device.  A mobile app is typically designed with a sole purpose in mind, needs to be downloaded onto the device, and can be quite expensive. 
On the other hand, optimizing a website for mobile display typically involves selecting the most frequented pages of your website and making them display on a mobile device in a manner that is easily utilized.  Large icons, minimal graphics, and one or two links are the key to a properly mobile optimized website.

Good examples of properly mobile optimized websites are: www.charlestonwv.com and www.kchdwv.org
