smartphones and Mobiles are the UK's preferred internet browsing devices – Eastpoint Software

smartphones and Mobiles are the UK’s preferred internet browsing devices – Eastpoint Software
 
A  survey by Ofcom has revealed that the majority of people in the UK   prefer to go online using their mobile phone ahead of laptops, tablets,   and desktop computers.

 It's the first time the survey has put smartphones on top, with laptops being the most popular previously.

 How important is mobile app development?

 So what does this mean for websites? If more people are viewing   websites and apps on their mobile, should development be prioritising   mobile-specific designs?

 Our feeling is that the survey shows that mobile should, when   applicable, always be an option, but that it's often best alongside more   traditional software development.

 People preferring mobile doesn't mean laptops are not being used.   Think of your own browsing habits. Do you reach for your mobile most of   the time all things considered, but prefer to make purchases on a  laptop  or desktop?

  That is certainly the case for me. While I would have to pick mobile   for preferred device due to the amount of times a day I check emails and   new websites, I much prefer using my huge desktop monitor to view   websites. I would appreciate a mobile friendly website, but I also want   to be greedy and be able to see desktop designs and tablet-sized   websites too.

 But  even so, for certain areas, mobile development is the way to go.  You  don't necessarily need to 'cover all bases' and it very much depends  on  your target consumers/users, as well as budget.

 What now for desktop development?

 The survey shows a decline in website browsing via a desktop computer   as a preferred method, which is to be expected. How many people do you   know who still fire up a desktop pc at home?

 But there are other factors to consider. Mostly, that checking your   phone to check something like a news headline is fine, but often people   will want a larger screen to do anything more involved. A lot of people   will still have desktop computers at work, and view websites via a   standard monitor while browsing on lunch breaks.

 In terms of web design, desktop and laptop are covered by the same   scale design, so although less people prefer desktops, plenty of people   still use it, and plenty still prefer laptops. So a regular   “desktop/laptop” design (ie, the usual full size website or application)   should still be your first port of call in many situations.

 The most important thing is to offer choice when possible, and take into account what will work best in specific circumstances.

Navigating web and mobile development – what should I get?

 We always help our clients understand the pros and cons of creating   apps for different devices and, with their input, weigh up what is best   for them.

 If a  client has a budget in mind, we make our suggestions for what we  think  might be a good starting point based on that budget, and how to  reach  the most people in the best way, for their spend.
