Going Mobile – Step 3

Here are the most common ways to go mobile and a few advantages and disadvantages.

1. Mobile friendly or responsive sites
   
   Pros: less expensive to develop; updating is simpler
   Cons: not optimized for every device; may result in user frustration with load times and inconsistencies across platforms; not accessible offline
    
2. Mobile dedicated sites
   
   Pros: create unique architecture for each family of devices
   Cons: Multiple iterations mean more cost and more difficulty in updating; not available offline
    
3. App
   
   Pros: created specifically for mobile devices; can be accessible offline and virtually anywhere
   Cons: cost and changes

All this boils down to cost versus user experience. I hope these posts have helped clarify the mobile outlook and get you on the way to making your website mobile. If you have any questions, Penguin Suits is here to help.
