Mobile: Why it Matters

> 8

The mobile challenge

>  WEB101 - Don’t make me think!!!

>  Users need to be able to use your site

>  Less screen space, even more important

— work through the actions you want them to do. Or that they want to do.

>  Maintain this user experience across a

range of devices.

>  Without killing your content team.

> 9

The Mobile Web?

>  There is no ‘mobile web’

> 10

> 11

Mobile: Responsive Design

> 12

Personalisation >  Your web experience is not a brochure.

>  It is not a ‘dumb terminal’ >  We can understand information about a

visitor — their ‘context’ when they are on your site

>  By understanding their context, we can provide more relevant content to them

>  Contextual content = relevant content

> 13

Personalisation

>  Relevant content helps users, in a timely way, to help them complete their tasks

>  Context awareness can understand: -  Language -  Location -  Device -  New or returning visitor -  Existing customer -  Google keyword search -  Referring site -  Previous behaviour / purchases -  Browsing path

> 14

Personalisation drives action

>  Successful WEM isn’t about pretty pictures — its about simplicity.

>  If you search for something, you expect relevant results.

>  Failure to account for the context of the user is a missed opportunity to help meet your goals

> 15

Interoperability

>  Your online channel will no longer work in isolation.

>  Key to successful integration is the ability to connect to to your backend systems.

-  Lead generation -  Customer service -  Data -  3rd parties -  Cloud Services -  …

>  Integral to a successful WEM strategy

> 16

Interoperability

> 17

Social Media

>  Social networking has become the world’s most popular online activity

>  There are more Facebook users than Buddhists

>  More £££ - but what is the ROI? Tweets, Likes, Followers?

> 18

Social Media

>  Social Media is powerful.

>  BUT. You need the web presence to drive traffic to from your social activity.

-  What will people do when they click through?

-  Can you deliver the promise? -  Is you site mobile ready (many social

networks have over 50% of traffic from mobile users)

>  As an organisation social media is just one channel in your quest to meet your goals.

Analytics enables Optimisation

> Optimisation is the loop of constant improvement. > It is the understanding of site behaviour and using this to increase your success. > Without this, you are only doing half the job! > Everyone has analytics. But not enough people use analytics

> 22

The Cloud

>  WEM is about innovating, adapting and

improving.

>  Deploy fast, and agile on a cloud

infrastructure

>  Removes the barriers to entry
