Is your business ready for the new Internet Generation?

Since the emergence of the Internet in the 1980’s, it has become one of the most important marketing tools for any business, large or small. Every business is aware of the need and importance of a website, but few are aware that Internet on Mobile Phone, and now the new Apple iPod music players will change everything.

Handheld devices are revolutionising how people use the Internet, and most importantly, find your business on the Internet.
Ask yourself two simple questions: How many people bring a laptop computer on holiday? And how many bring mobile phones and iPod music players?

People can now make restaurant bookings, taxi reservations, view property details and even download a song playing in a bar with this new technology.

In the UK, sales of the new Apple iPhone, and iTouch music players have exceeded all expectations. People can now use these devices to listen to music and watch videos, but more importantly, they can download their email and search the web.
And it is also not just the young people who are buying these mobile phones and music players.
Approximately 40 per cent of Apple iTouch sales are being bought by people over 25.

Over the next year in the Algarve, you will see this happening everywhere, in cafes, bars and restaurants and even on the beach.
People will be booking tickets to the attractions in the Algarve, restaurants, taxis and even ordering a pizza using these devices.
Is your business prepared?

Mobile Phones and Apple players, obviously have smaller screens than a normal computer. Your website must cater for this, or it will be impractical for a mobile user to use it. Furthermore, technologies such as Flash do not work with many handheld devices, such as the iTouch and iphone. This is not a design fault of the device, it has been implemented by the manufacturers as a security feature. Therefore, if your website is entirely designed in flash, or uses it heavily, your website will be inaccessible to users of these devices.

A modern website must support these devices, if it does not, your customers will almost certainly go somewhere where they do. Don't be left behind.
