Jungle Jumps Offers Tips for Optimizing Your Bounce House Site for Mobile Devices

    ANAHEIM, CA, November 03, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- More and more consumers are using their mobile smartphones when looking up web sites. Considering the small screen size of mobile devices, your bounce house web site may not translate well to a mobile device, hindering your ability to win these inflatable customers.

When optimizing your inflatable web site for mobile devices you have two options to choose from. You can convert your existing inflatable web site to a more mobile friendly layout and navigation. This would mean simplifying the pages to a one column format, with large, legible text, including images that are not too "busy" when viewed at a smaller size, and moving the navigation menu toward the top of the page.

As an alternative, your inflatable web site can be optimized to work on mobile devices, without making changes to your site when viewed on a computer. In this case a stand-alone, dedicated mobile web site is developed, that remains separate from your main inflatable web site. Typically, the dedicated mobile web site would appear with a different url. For example if your site is junglejumps.com, the mobile site could be m.junglejumps.com.

A mobile web site may be different from you main inflatable web site in several ways. Keep in mind that visitors to your inflatable site via their mobile phone are often quickly looking for a phone number. It is important that you have your contact information easily accessible, and always include your phone number as a "click-to-call" link. Mobile phone users can then simply touch the phone number to dial your bounce house business.
Remember that when surfing the internet on a mobile device, the user may have limited bandwidth. It is important to keep the bounce house images on your site at a manageable size and avoid playing video, which requires a much higher bandwidth.

Other than screen size, one of the biggest differences in mobile devices is the touch screen and lack of a keypad. Take this into consideration when designing an inflatable site optimized for mobile, making navigation as simple as possible.

It is often best to leave the task of optimizing your inflatable web site to a professional web designer. This will ensure that the inflatable site is modified or created, depending on your choice of routes, correctly the first time. While there is a cost involved to this, ensuring that prospective bounce house customers see your inflatable web site in the format that you intend for them to is well worth the price tag.
