Making your site mobile-ready.

There are several countries around the world where people access websites more frequently by mobile phone or pda, than they do by computer. If your site is not set up to look good on a mobile phone, you will probably lose a large potential market. Setting up a mobile-ready site is very easy to do and BrownInk Media can help get you there. Right now our introductory price is $1000 to set up a mobile -ready site, and includes links to 5 pages. A link to Paypal so that people can make payments through their phone will also help increase your sales. Contact us at sbrown@brownincmedia.com for more information .
