How to prepare your website for mobile phone users.

Did you know that people can now get auto repair pricing quotes right through a free app on their iPhone?

RepairPal is the first iPhone app to give consumers auto repair pricing information and roadside assistance, all right from their phone.  People can find a mechanic, get a repair price, get a parts price or summon roadside assistance.

This is a great example of what you as business owners and operators can expect from your customers in the future.  The mobile phone (and it may be Wi-Fi based rather than cellular) will become the center of life for most of your customers.  It will become easier for consumers to get information on anything, at anytime, from anywhere.

What does this mean to you?

Well, you need to be aware of the many ways people can use to access your information and your website.  Thus, we suggest prepare by:

• Present key buying information whenever possible in headline or bullet point format

More and more things will be happening concerning how people access their websites in the near future.  Stay with us to keep current on these trends.  Your best bet for now is to follow our tips and use the RepairPal app so you aren’t stranded on the roadside!
