What is Mobile Website?

While your existing web site is aimed at giving a full and comprehensive picture of your business, a Mobile Website mobile site allows you to deliver immediate access to what matters most when on the go. The two sites are complimentary and work together to make sure your customers are getting the most appropriate experience for their context and their device.
