I recently came across some interesting statistics about mobile phone usage and mobile internet usage that I thought were worth sharing. Did you know that currently thirty-seven percent of mobile phone owners are using their phones to access the Internet? According to recent studies, people are mainly using their mobile phones and devices to access various Internet services and search engines or to look up information like the daily news, addresses, directions, pricing, etc. The demand for internet access on mobile phones and devices has also been steadily increasing over time.  Currently, it is estimated that approximately 40% of all Internet users worldwide have Internet access on their mobile phones. It is also estimated that the number of mobile Internet users will reach 546 million by the end of this year alone. And, the forecast of mobile Internet users is expected to surpass 1.5 billion worldwide in 2012!

Given the significant and ever increasing numbers of mobile phone owners who are now accessing the Internet each and every day, it is easy to see why it has become so important to have not only an Internet website presence but also a specific mobile Internet web presence. People need to access websites daily while on their mobile phones and many of the regular websites that were created for PC viewing simply do not display properly or even at all on the small screens of these mobile phones and devices.

WAP web sites are specially created websites designed to be viewed by anyone using a WAP enabled mobile phone or mobile device. Since people who are accessing the Internet on their mobile phones do not have access to the large monitors, keyboards or a mouse like PC viewers do for viewing regular websites, it is important that mobile websites are designed with the needs of these mobile viewers in mind. Many times a mobile user is either in their car or running errands and needs some basic information quickly. They often need information such as an address, hours of operation, pricing or estimated delivery information. And, they don’t want to sort through an endless amount of text that may be difficult to view or navigate through or have to tediously input a lot of information to access what they need to know. The goal of WAP web sites is to help eliminate this frustration for mobile Internet users.

In order to support the growing need for mobile web sites, there are now some affordable and easy-to-use online services available that can be quite helpful in creating and customizing WAP web sites of your own, either for business or personal use. One of the best WAP web site service providers is Mobilemo.  They have a free online service or other more robust service options that are either $5 a year for Premium Personal service or $10 a year for Business service (a free 15-day trial is also incuded). Mobilemo will help you to create WAP web sites that are automatically converted to the right size, layout and format for any mobile phone Internet viewing. And, you don’t need to have any programming skills whatsoever. All of their tools are extremely intuitive and easy to manipulate as well. Although it can sometimes feel overwhelming if you need to create your own WAP web sites, it is nice to know there are easy-to-use and affordable solutions like Mobilemo that are now available.

Mobile or WAP websites as they are often called are mini websites that have been configured to fit the smaller screens of mobile phones because regular websites made for PC’s cannot always be viewed properly on mobile phones and devices. A mobile website is similar in function to a typical website created for PC viewing but is different in that both its size and content layout have been specifically configured to fit the small screen sizes of mobile phones and devices.

Before anyone thought to create mobile website features specifically for mobile internet users, there was a common problem that regular websites would not display properly or at all on the small mobile phone screens and would be very difficult for mobile viewers to maneuver through since they do not have easy access to a large screen, mouse and keyboard as do PC website viewers.

Mobile websites are often called WAP sites. WAP is an acronym that stands for Wireless Application Protocol. This is simply a means of presenting and delivering wireless information to mobile phones and other mobile devices. The basic purpose of WAP is to provide internet access to anyone a mobile phone or mobile device. Mobile websites can be viewed from anywhere in the world if you are using a WAP enabled mobile phone or device.

If you want to create mobile website features of your own, there are several online services that will help you create and customize your own WAP website either for free or at very affordable rates. One of the best services available is from Mobilemo. Using this service, you can create mobile WAP sites with ease even if you don’t have any programming skills because they smartly designed the interface and tools to be very intuitive and self-explanatory. 

One of best things about being able to create mobile website features through Mobilemo is that they give you many options to customize your site to meet your own personal tastes or particular business needs.

They also provide you with a lot of options for interactivity with your mobile website visitors. You can use interactive mobile site tools like surveys and polls, forms creation tools, a guest book creation tool so visitors can send you their contact information, and a comments tool where you can collect comments from visitors to your site. There is also a nice email alert feature that will inform you anytime someone has submitted feedback to your mobile site.

There are several different account types to choose from at Mobilemo. They have Personal service plans that are made for anyone who wants to create mobile website features for blogging, social networking, file sharing, or just staying up to date with friends and family.  The Personal service is available for free or, if you need more features, control settings or storage space, you can pay $5 a year. The Business account is $10 a year and offers enhanced mobile site tools, larger storage space and mobile site settings available at your discretion.  A free 15-day trial is also available on the business service plans.

The delivery medium for mobile WAP sites are mobile phones and various other types of wireless devices. An important thing to note when creating any WAP website is that you want to create a site that will be compatible with not just some but all types of mobile phones and wireless devices used to access the Internet. Otherwise, your mobile WAP site will have limited visibility to the hundreds of millions of possible viewers.

A simple way to create free WAP sites that will be compatible with all mobile phones and devices capable of accessing the Internet is by using a new mobile WAP site creation service called Mobilemo.

One of the reasons so many people are now creating mobile WAP sites is because the content of a regular website created for viewing on a PC screen does not necessarily work well for small mobile screens. Sometimes the information doesn’t display well and sometimes it doesn’t even display at all. Making a good mobile WAP site requires delivering relevant information to mobile phone users who are accessing the Internet while they are on the go and have limited screen size, limited functionality and limited time.

It’s important to make sure to keep the needs of these mobile users in mind when you begin to create your free WAP sites on Mobilemo. Since people will be accessing your WAP site via their mobile phones while they are on the go, either in the car, at an airport, on a bus, at the car wash, etc. you want to choose information that will be specifically relevant to provide them with and easy for them to view.  Most online mobile phone viewers are looking for basic kinds of information such as addresses, hours of operations, pricing, delivery status on orders placed or measurements. You really don’t want to overload them with too many unnecessary details, photos or images that might become cumbersome and frustrating for them to sort through in order to get access to the information they need.

The great thing about Mobilemo’s service is that they not only let you easily create professional-looking free WAP sites but they take a lot of these design considerations in mind and do the work for you.
