Moovweb Powered Sites Featured on GoMo Site

Several Moovweb mobile sites are featured for their best mobile website practices on Google's new GoMo site, which is dedicated to helping businesses go mobile.

Many companies today are faced with the challenge of supporting the rapidly changing and growing mobile web channel in bringing the desktop experience to both mobile web and apps. Navigating the vendor landscape and solutions is just the tip of the iceberg. Being able to present a mobile experience that is engaging and purposeful is important and the best practices explored on the GoMo site can help.

"Moovweb inherits the best of the desktop experience, like faceted search as seen on the new Macy's mobile site, and combines this with some of the best practices for mobile, like including PayPal Express checkout as seen on Ross-Simons. In adhering to these best practices we've been able to dramatically increase our customers' business on mobile," notes Ajay Kapur, CEO Moovweb.

After upgrading to Moovweb, 1800Flowers saw significant improvements to the mobile experience. Incorporating functions taken from the desktop site, such as real-time local-based inventory availability, really made a difference. "Mobile users are even more particular about having proper inventory, pricing, and shipping cost information literally at their fingertips. These features work on the desktop and they likewise should work on mobile. Time and energy should be spent on creating new features that even further enhance the experience," says Mr. Kapur.

Moovweb is delighted to be a part of the GoMo site. Companies need mobile industry advice and places to turn to like GoMo when creating the best mobile web experience.
