Before 2015, its projected that mobile internet usage will overtake the desktop. (Microsoft Tag)
• Mobile is now almost 40 percent of time spent online. In addition Maps, Music, Weather and Social Networking are categories where people spend more time with mobile than on the PC. It’s probably only a year or so away that the above chart looks much more 50/50 or even 60/40 in favor of mobile. (ComScore)

57% of people won’t recommend a company with a sub-par mobile site and 40% will visit a competitor’s site after a bad mobile experience. (Google Mobile Playbook)
• However, businesses and advertisers have been slow to capitalize on mobile growth Only 9% of websites were optimized for mobile in 2012. (Mongoose Metrics)
When it comes to ad spending versus time spent, mobile is the most imbalanced medium out there (It represents 1% of ad spend and 23% of time spent). (Google Mobile Playbook)

The Mobile User Experience
Page 13
• Users expect mobile websites to load in under five seconds according to the survey findings. However even five seconds is a long time. The general proposition is: the faster the better.
• Creating mobile user experiences that delight users forces us to rethink a lot of what we have taken for granted so far with desktop design.
• This graphic illustrates specific design and usability elements that people want from mobile sites.
• Dissecting the mobile user experience into its key components gives us a conceptual framework for building and evaluating good mobile experiences

Other Mobile Website Trends
Page 22
• Localized and Personalized Mobile Experiences Since there are multiple mechanisms (IP targeting, WiFi triangulation technology, location-as-a-
service solutions, user-supplied location information, cookies, location-based proximity networks, or GPS) to identify a users location when accessing a mobile website from a mobile device, organizations can now develop functionality and content very specific to a local geography or locality creating a personalized experience without having the need for a user to login
• Mobile/mCommerce will grow substantially On Black Friday, internet shoppers broke numerous records as internet sales exceeded $1 billion
for the first time in history. An estimated 24% of sales made via the internet on Black Friday are thought to have been via traffic from mobile devices.
• Apps may rule the mobile landscape now, but not for long Currently native apps for smartphones and tablets almost always trump websites designed for
mobile devices because they can tap into devices’ native capabilities for a seamless experience. However, most experts agree HTML5 is eventually the way of the future and should flip the perspective.
• The convergence of SoLoMo There is strong indications that Social, Local, and Mobile elements will converge into a great
website experience for mobile users
