Silentblast Interactive - Toronto Web Design and Development

Hello readers I came across this excellent article Social Networking Ranks as Fastest-Growing Mobile Content Category and there are some interesting facts that reinforce an earlier blog article where Mobile Websites were discussed.

As recent as April 2010, as much as 78% of smartphone mobile users accessed the web via their devices. 80% of smartphone users used the devices directly with some form of application with Social Media Sites presenting the greatest share with apps for Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and so forth leading the charge.

While the statistics in the article reflect US based users and mobile phone providers the comparisons to Canadian usage is in all likelihood similar. With 73 million smartphone users in the US that used their smartphone browser to access social networks, news, sports, weather as well as retail and business information that is a significant market for businesses that wish to expand in the US; let alone the potential within Canada.

With double digit growth in the use of smartphones to access information on websites or via applications; businesses should consider a mobile strategy in their business model.

Welcome back to the Silentblast Blog. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer months. At Silentblast Interactive we have been busy with some very exciting projects that will be highlighted in our revised Press Room area, which is currently a continual work in progress for us in between our web design, and development projects at Silentblast.

We have also been working on our web design blog over the past while in providing our clients exposure but also showing potential clients that not only do we enjoy working on their web design, development, logo’s and search engine optimization; we also like talking about them and their business.

One of the key service verticals we offer is mobile web design. Essentially that is the porting of your current website to a version that is viewable by a smart phone such as the iPhone as an example or iPad.

As the popularity of mobile devices continue to grow in Canada and abroad we see this as a virtually un-tapped market for our clients to lean towards. At this juncture it is estimated that up to 20% of all search related Internet surfing is done via a mobile type device. People are more mobile now than ever before and embracing that type of technology is important, coupled with social media such as text messaging and Twitter type methods of communication.

Another program we are going to roll out soon is the Silentblast Newsblast. This will be a Newsletter sent to all our current customers and those interested in joining our mailing list. In the Newsblast we will be highlighting projects completed by Silentblast, Whats’ Hot with respect to the Internet as well as exclusive offers to Silentblast clientele.
