The Latest: Glasscraft's new mobile site has launched!
HEROweb would like to congratulate Glasscraft on launching their new mobile site. This site is especially exciting for us at HEROweb because it marks the rollout of our MightyMerchant Mobile Platform.
Glasscraft provides glass blowing supplies of all sorts to artists all over the world. Whether you want tools or materials, Glasscraft can help!
Jesse Wakeley, a Glasscraft representative, expressed to us his excitement over the new, mobile website:
"MightyMerchant Mobile is awesome! Our site works and looks great on iPhone, Android, and Windows phones. Since it shares the data with our desktop site, I only need to update the site once and I'm covered! We've definitely been seeing orders come in on the mobile site regularly since it went up."
Just like Glasscraft, HEROweb is thrilled about the new possibilities a mobile site offers. A mobile site opens your ecommerce business up to a whole new world of consumers who browse the web from their smart phones.
According to a report from the advertising network Chitika, smart phones account for nearly 15 percent of US web traffic. Creating content targeted towards this portion of the market offers a huge opportunity to turn these web surfers into customers.
The Glasscraft mobile website has many features that make browsing and purchasing items from a mobile device much more straightforward than performing the same tasks on the desktop version. Here are some of the features:
- Intuitive Interface: This website utilizes an interface optimized for the mobile experience. The page dimensions were created with a smart phone screen in mind and the large buttons make it easy to navigate the site on a touchscreen. Glasscraft's mobile website has all the content of the full version, but the intelligent layout makes it comfortable to view from your smart phone.
- Convenient Checkout Options: Glasscraft mobile allows the user to makepurchasesdirectly from their smart phone, but users also have the option of emailing themselves the shopping cart so they can make the purchase from their desktop computer.
- Versatility: The Glasscraft mobile website has been tested with the iOS, Windows Phone 7, Blackberry, and Android operating systems.
These are some of the many features that make this mobile implementation so awesome. Check out the mobile website on your smart phone, or check it out on your desktop.
