I started banking from my phone.

It finally happened. My bank created a decent mobile site that I actually trust and can navigate through my mobile phone. They had been talking about it for a while and everytime I looked it up they always said it was almost finished. I've been around long enough to know that doesn't mean much. Well, apparently it did because I checked the other day randomly and it was up, logged in and checked my balance. It seemed pretty simple and didn't take too long to load. I'm pretty happy.

A good of way of finding out if you have a mobile website for your bank is to go to their main site and look for 'mobile version' or just try m. before the domain name.

I know it's getting more and more common and the more people get out there and ask for it the better chances we have of getting it working for all the banks, even the smaller ones.

Mobile Sites

I bet the people who came up with the .mobi extension are really scratching their heads. It’s really not that hard to understand why most companies didn’t want to switch the .mobi. Here are a few of the reasons I can think of. 1. It costs extra money to register a .mobi domain.2. Sub-domains. Just adding m. to your domain name (ie m.mobilegeeksofdurango.com) let’s you bypass the need for a new domain.3. Confusing. Who wants to have to go to www.topmobilesites.net on your PC, and then www.topmobilesites.mobi on their mobile device? Especially when you just change www. to m.

You can find some of the same technology in colored contacts like they use to make red contacts and yellow contacts.

I’m sure there are lots of other reasons but I can see why the .mobi didn’t take off like they had originally planned!

Looking For Good Mobile Sites

Convenience is one significant factor that web developers forget when designing a site for a mobile device. It’s not like a PC where you can make a cookie cutter drawing and then alter it to fit into different browsers. With mobile devices that can view websites the list is growing everyday so you have to be careful so you don’t do away with some of your possible customers by making your site to specific.

One thing I advocate is to design the site where it can be viewed easily and without too much clutter. If you want someone to leave your site quickly just make it garbled on their monitor and see what happens!
