dotMobi launches Dutch version of goMobi mobile website builder via SiteOp.mobi

vance — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 20:09:44 +0000

Internet Services company Webteam is first to market with Dutch language version of goMobi, the award-winning service for creating mobile websites

Mobile Web pioneer dotMobi, the company behind the award-winning mobile site creator goMobi, today announced the immediate availability of the goMobi service in Dutch. Leading Internet services company Webteam is the first to launch the Dutch version of goMobi.

goMobi allows anybody to create rich, smartphone-optimized websites that work seamlessly on all platforms in minutes. Sites created with goMobi are compatible with virtually all Web-enabled mobile devices thanks to built-in device detection and rendering technology. goMobi sites include a range of features that use the unique capabilities of mobile phones, such as “mapping” to show directions to a business from the user’s location, “click to call” without the need to dial a number, easy content sharing via the phone, and deep integration with social networking sites. Recent research has shown mobile traffic is growing exponentially; enabling features like these on mobile sites helps ensure increased site visits and sales for local businesses.

goMobi sites are also optimized for mobile search. With Google recently announcing they will prioritize mobile friendly pages, the importance of having a mobile site has never been greater.

dotMobi COO Eileen O’Sullivan said, “Our mission is to empower businesses to go mobile in any language, in any territory, for any device. goMobi makes it easy and cost effective to get your business on mobile, and ensure you are responding to the huge – and growing -- number of customers who are seeking services via their mobile devices.”

goMobi sites can be built in minutes using existing desktop content or entirely from scratch. Plus, they can be hosted on an existing domain name or a new domain, giving users complete flexibility. goMobi lets site owners use one of seven languages -- English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Simplified Chinese -- for creating mobile websites. In turn, site visitors can choose any of 14 languages for a “machine” translation of the site, ensuring your site is easy for you to create and easy for customers around the world to read.

“We are happy to be partners in the goMobi movement for helping small business owners profit from the mobile Web. With the complete solution, including support, in our native Dutch language, we offer a reliable mobile solution for business in the Netherlands. It's a small screen but a huge opportunity,” said Lars de Rijk, CMO of Webteam BV.

Webteam will offer goMobi both directly from its website at http://www.siteop.mobi and through its network of sales partners.

Award-winning mobile website builder goMobi now available via Parallels platform for Web services providers

vance — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 12:44:03 +0000

Mobile Web pioneer dotMobi harnesses the power of the Application Packaging Standard in bringing goMobi to 10,000-plus Parallels Web services providers and resellers

dotMobi today announced the availability of its cloud-based goMobi® service on the industry-leading Parallels® virtualization and automation platform for Web services providers. goMobi offers a quick, easy and inexpensive way for businesses to create mobile websites with a great user experience on practically any mobile device.

“dotMobi has taken advantage of the Application Packaging Standard (APS) in making goMobi available to the more than 10,000 Web services providers and resellers who use the Parallels’ Software as a Service (SaaS) model,” said Eileen O'Sullivan, Chief Financial and Operating Officer of dotMobi. “As a ‘pluggable’ APS application, goMobi is available for simple, rapid deployment by Web services providers, who can rapidly increase their revenues by helping businesses ‘goMobi’.”

With mobile browsing predicted to eclipse desktop traffic by 2014, goMobi brings the power of the mobile Web in the form of an easy-to-use Web application. Web services providers can offer goMobi directly through their site, and each goMobi account opened is then activated and administered completely via the Parallels platform.

“goMobi gives thousands of Parallels service providers the opportunity to have an out-of-the-box offering that makes it easy for them to take the offering and upsell, resell or bundle mobile websites to reach billions of mobile Web users in the global market today," said John Zanni, VP of Marketing and Alliances at Parallels.

goMobi websites take advantage of the mobile phone’s unique capabilities to provide the best possible user experience. Mobile-only features like click to call, mapping, QR codes and integration with social networks as well as location-based services help engage customers and build long-term relationships. As Google recently noted, 61% of users make a call to a local business after using a mobile phone to search for services, and the mobile user experience can directly affect a customer’s perception of a business. goMobi also includes device detection so those who access a business’ desktop site on a mobile device are seamlessly redirected to the goMobi site, where the experience is tailored to their specific mobile phone.

Deploying goMobi
goMobi is designed to function as a fully integrated application within Parallels Plesk Panel 10 or directly from dotMobi as an APS application. For more details on offering goMobi in a Parallels environment, see http://goMobi.info/parallels. You can also contact sales@goMobi.info.

dotMobi launches low-cost cloud version of market-leading DeviceAtlas device detection service

vance — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 13:02:17 +0000

New DeviceAtlas Cloud expands mobile Internet by simplifying mobile device detection for designers, developers, agencies and Web companies

Mobile Web pioneer dotMobi today announced the enhancement of its award-winning DeviceAtlas® service with DeviceAtlas Cloud, a new version that helps designers, developers, agencies and Web companies optimize content for mobile devices by enabling faster, easier and more cost-effective device detection.

dotMobi created DeviceAtlas to improve the mobile end-user experience by solving the challenge of displaying content properly on all mobile devices, from low-end feature phones to high-end tablet devices. DeviceAtlas does this by identifying the requesting mobile device and its display & system capabilities to allow delivery of content in a format tailored to that device.

“With the explosion of the mobile Internet and a proliferation of different devices, companies need an even more affordable device detection solution that’s quick and easy to implement. A cloud version of DeviceAtlas was the natural result. Now, we’re able to offer the best device detection solution on the market more cost effectively, allowing smaller designers, development shops and agencies access to state-of-the-art device detection,” said Ronan Cremin, Vice President of Engineering, dotMobi.

DeviceAtlas Cloud can be up and running in minutes, eliminating the need for an investment in infrastructure and lowering time spent on deploying a device detection solution. Once implemented, all data updates are managed by dotMobi with no need for technical expertise in mobile detection and database management. DeviceAtlas Cloud is available as “Standard” or “Premium,” depending on how many websites or applications customers wish to support, the number of detections and the frequency of DeviceAtlas updates required.

DeviceAtlas Cloud builds on the success of the DeviceAtlas Enterprise version, which includes advanced features and is deployed in-company by many Fortune 100 companies to power high-traffic, mission-critical Web applications.

All versions of DeviceAtlas come with a powerful analytics tool that provides statistical data on device capabilities, and a comparison tool that allows users to cross-reference those capabilities.

Built with data from numerous sources, including manufacturers and network operators, DeviceAtlas is the world’s largest device detection database. All DeviceAtlas data is verified and validated to ensure it is the most accurate available, with detection accuracy rates in excess of 99 percent.

vance — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 17:31:18 +0000

goMobi Administration Tool improvements include enhanced reporting capabilities that allow exporting of goMobi subscription information (in .csv format) plus the ability to easily track trial customers to encourage activating accounts.

“The mobile Web is a unique, low-cost channel for small businesses to market themselves. Having goMobi available in multiple languages makes the advantages of the mobile Web accessible to the bulk of the world’s mobile phone users,” said Trey Harvin, CEO, dotMobi. “I’m happy to bring goMobi to the world’s small businesses so they can create fast, easy and complete mobile sites without language barriers.”

Harvin added, “And for our sales partners, dotMobi is making marketing materials available in English, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese, along with a sub-reseller marketing kit in Spanish, French and German so that selling goMobi is easier than ever.”

Global Internet services company Tucows and its OpenSRS group have recently joined the family of providers now offering goMobi. Adam Eisner, Director of Domain Services at Tucows, said, “We’re excited to offer goMobi to our resellers and clients. And we’re especially pleased with goMobi’s language enhancements because we have a large base of Spanish and French users who demand ‘in-language’ services. And with the availability of goMobi in Simplified Chinese, it’s obvious that goMobi’s reach will ensure that it’s the global standard for a mobile Web presence.”

goMobi, recently named as “best technical Innovation of 2010” by the Irish Software Association, is available from a variety of Internet service companies, including BulkRegister, eNom, Instra Corporation, IP Mirror, name.com and OpenSRS. goMobi will soon be available from EuroDNS, InterNetWire and its subsidiaries, and InterNetX.

2010 study of mobile Web trends shows continued explosion of mobile-friendly content

vance — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 13:49:39 +0000

Two-year global mobile content growth outpaces growth of desktop Web in equivalent period

DUBLIN, Oct. 20, 2010 — dotMobi, the mobile Web solutions company behind .mobi — the only ICANN-approved Internet address created specifically for labeling content that works on all mobile phones — today announced highlights of its third annual study on mobile Web trends.

The dotMobi “Mobile Web Progress” study examined websites available via the world’s most-used global top-level Internet domains: .com, .net, .org, .info and .mobi.

The 2010 study demonstrates that the mobile Web is continuing its explosive global growth. The 2008 study showed 150,000 mobile-ready websites, while the 2010 study showed approximately 3.01 million sites, representing an incredible two-year growth of more than 2,000 percent. And that growth level significantly outpaces early desktop growth.

Web analysts Netcraft found that, between 1996 and 1998, the size of the desktop Web grew from 150,000 sites to 2.0 million sites, a growth rate of only 1,333 percent compared to the mobile Web’s 2,000 percent growth in the equivalent timeframe.

“Many brands and businesses are seeing that mobile is a vital, unique channel and not just a smaller desktop Web. Big brands are now adopting mobile Web strategies, but we still have a long way to go, given the ubiquity of mobile phones compared to computers,” said Trey Harvin, CEO of dotMobi. “A recent Morgan Stanley report noted that the ‘mobile internet is ramping faster than desktop internet did and will be bigger than most think’. Businesses of all sizes need to prepare for the change in how people will access content by embracing the mobile Web.”

“Small business owners must engage their growing mobile audience as large brands have. Tools like Dreamweaver and WordPress enabled this to happen on the desktop Web by making site creation fast, easy and cheap. Developments like jQuery Mobile, DeviceAtlas and goMobi are now making this happen for the mobile Web,” added Harvin.

A close-up on Alexa’s top 500,000 sites
To better understand how the world’s most popular websites are handling mobile phones, dotMobi looked closely at the top 500,000 websites as determined by Alexa, the Amazon.com intelligence company.

Within the Alexa top 1,000 sites, 40.1 percent of all sites are mobile-friendly. These sites represent the world’s most popular Web properties, like Google, Facebook and Yahoo!

Beyond the top 1,000, mobile friendliness still holds strong but is not yet as widespread. Of the top 10,000 Alexa sites, 29.7 percent perform well on mobiles. Once the input data is broadened to include the top 500,000 sites, the total number of mobile-friendly sites drops to 19.3 percent.

dotMobi’s Director of Engineering, Ronan Cremin, said, “The study demonstrates that apps are shifting to become a part of a broader mobile Web strategy rather than the strategy itself. While some brands build individual apps for multiple platforms like iOS, Android and BlackBerry, businesses are increasingly choosing a mobile Web solution for their content, as many of the Alexa top 1,000 have already done.”

“As more tools come to market and HTML5 support spreads, mobile Web apps will displace most ‘native’ apps. Brands can now build a single mobile Web presence that works across all mobile devices without the limitations, costs and maintenance issues of multiple app platforms. The mobile Web lets you address all of your mobile customers, not just those with iPhones and Android handsets,” Cremin added.

“Companies that have focused on good mobile user experiences and mobile-friendly websites now have strong advantages in competing for visitors, sales, and customer loyalty,” Harvin said, “And these advantages are already positively impacting sales at their desktop websites.”

goMobi content mobilization platform from dotMobi adds new features

vance — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 11:59:37 +0000

Due to developer demand, new features launched, joining existing designer-specific
goMobi features for adapting Web content into mobile-ready sites more easily than ever

DUBLIN, Sept. 1, 2010 — dotMobi, a worldwide leader in the development & discovery of quality mobile content and the company behind the .mobi Internet domain, today announced additional "requested by developers" features for goMobi™, the world’s first content mobilization platform — a hybrid of a traditional content management system and a practically automatic mobile website builder.

In a recent dotMobi survey conducted by Human Factors International, 94% of developers in the USA, India, Germany and China felt that the mobile Web represents an untapped market for small businesses. Based on this and additional survey findings, dotMobi has quickly integrated features that developers noted as being especially useful in serving small businesses with mobile websites, including new transcoding options plus "Quick Site Copy" and "Add Pages" features.

goMobi now allows designers to fully control the transformation of existing website content into mobile-friendly content. This means developers can produce compelling mobile content in minutes while minimizing maintenance time because changes to the source website can be automatically rendered on the goMobi site. Also, goMobi now incorporates automatic transcoding of subpages within a desktop site for a seamless mobile user experience.

The goMobi "Quick Site Copy" feature lets developers rapidly reproduce goMobi sites for similar business types without having to recreate work. This means developers can save time and money by creating templates for clients with like needs, such as nightclubs or law offices. The "Add Pages" feature makes it easy to create an unlimited number of additional goMobi pages for flexibility in creating unique mobile websites.

"Since its launch in June, goMobi has been warmly received by both our sales channel and our target audiences of Web developers and small-to-medium businesses (SMBs).
