New ICANN.mobi Site for ICANN No. 38 in Brussels 

New Mobile Site for ICANN No. 38 

With just a couple of days to go before the 38th ICANN Meeting officially starts in Brussels, dotMobi is very proud to announce a brand new ICANN.mobi site.

After all the appreciation and great feedback that the four previous versions have received from the ICANN community, we have now completely redesigned the site to be even more pleasant to the eye and easy to navigate, ensuring that you can make the best of your ICANN Brussels experience.

 One of the most appreciated features of the past sites has definitely been the “What´s on now” section, allowing attendees to get an immediate overview of the sessions happening at any given moment: we have now merged this function into the main “Schedule” display and made it the default view, while still allowing to easily display the full list of sessions for a specific day with one simple click. On top of that, the search function has been improved, and it now allows full text search to find just the session you need. 

The site also includes a very handy Google Maps integration which allows to get turn by turn direction from anywhere in Brussels: considering how the attendees are spread around different hotels, we expect this feature to prove quite useful. 

Although I am sure we all agree that ICANN Brussels is one of the key events of this year and many important decisions are expected to be made at this meeting, we do realize that many people will have their heads somewhere else: to make sure you can plan properly and avoid nasty schedule conflicts, we have also added a handy “World Cup Planner” with the schedule of all the matches in South Africa (after a long debate, we decided that merging this section with the meeting´s official schedule and highlighting the session-match conflicts would have probably been going a bit too far). 

We hope you will enjoy ICANN.mobi and that you will find it useful: if you are in Brussels (and even if you are not) we´d love to hear what you think, and how we can keep improving it.

Businesses Can Now Create Quality Mobile Web Sites In Minutes When They “goMobi”

ICANN MEETING NO. 38, Brussels, June 21, 2010 — dotMobi, a worldwide leader in the development and discovery of quality mobile content, today announced the global availability of goMobi™, a unique product designed to help businesses quickly and easily create & publish quality mobile websites in mere minutes. Unlike existing products, goMobi brings together the breadth of traditional content management systems with the speed and simplicity of mobile website builders. That means businesses of all sizes can join the mobile Web revolution with sophisticated mobile sites that work on all mobile phones but at a very low price point.

Targeted primarily at small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) as well as mobile developers and designers, goMobi lets businesses engage current and potential customers with sites that recognize the capabilities of each mobile phone and display the site’s content so that it looks its very best on that specific phone.

“All goMobi sites use a friendly, icon-based design, and all goMobi sites automatically recognize what handset your customer is using, so goMobi sites make every phone seem like it’s a smartphone. Because of this, your customers will always associate your company with a good mobile experience —no matter what phone they’re using,” said Trey Harvin, CEO of dotMobi.

“goMobi websites are hosted ‘in the cloud’ by dotMobi, so SMBs don’t pay extra for hosting or have to worry about other technology aspects,” Harvin added. “goMobi site owners can build a site in minutes and then focus on their business, while their mobile website works to bring in new customers. And if site owners want to make changes, they can do so in seconds. For example, a business owner can test different mobile coupon offers to see which one is most effective for bringing foot traffic in the door.”

Designed to meet consumer expectations of small businesses
dotMobi recently commissioned usability research firm Human Factors International to survey global attitudes towards the mobile Web in the USA, India, Germany and China. The company found that 53 percent of the respondents regularly use a mobile phone to access mobile websites while only 26 percent attempt to access standard desktop sites on mobile phones. Further, 83 percent of participants would prefer to visit a “made-for-mobile” website versus a “designed-for-desktop” version when using a mobile phone or portable device like an Apple iPad. And according to Web measurement leader Gomez, 61 percent of mobile Web visitors are less likely to visit a website again if they have a bad user experience.

goMobi was designed to meet these expectations while making the experience of building a mobile-specific website as carefree as possible. For SMBs, goMobi:

maximizes customer contacts by using the capabilities of the mobile phone — calls, texts, location-based services — and helping convert leads into customers,
increases mobile visits to businesses through improved search-engine optimization (SEO) by using key words in search engines and free directory listings,
helps convert visitors to “hot leads” with features like mobile coupons and reservation requests,
incorporates external, third-party applications, adding functionality & localization for businesses and a distributed distribution model for application developers & channel partners.
“With interest in the mobile Web continuing to explode, SMBs can now reach the world’s billions of mobile Web users — quickly, easily and completely,” said Trey Harvin. “goMobi connects SMBs to their customers significantly faster because a goMobi site delivers only the content mobile customers need, while making it easy for businesses to set up and maintain a unique mobile website. And since a goMobi website works on all mobile handsets, it ensures a business is available on the complete range of mobiles available, not just iPhones and Androids.”

Special tools for developers and designers
The speed and ease of building mobile websites with goMobi is also a boon to Web developers and designers, so they can include mobile in their service offerings. To meet their special needs, goMobi includes a powerful suite of tools which allows developers to control the automated transformation of desktop website content to mobile-friendly content as well as accessing HTML metatags for site items, along with a mobile/desktop switcher and advanced device detection capabilities.

Getting goMobi
Denver, Colorado-based name.com was the exclusive partner for goMobi beta trials and is now the first to market goMobi with their complete domain and hosting offerings.

Bill Mushkin, CEO of name.com, said, “Given the ease and speed that anyone — from tech amateur to design professional — can now build and deploy a mobile website with goMobi, I’m positive that the current boom in mobile Web use will grow tenfold in a short time. Our wildly successful beta of goMobi is strong proof of that.”
