At B2i Technologies, we care about your IR website, and have the tools and service standards to support all of your business needs. There are numerous benefits to having your website use HTTPS and be Mobile Friendly.
If your website is outdated, we can help you make the changes at very affordable prices.
Secure connections are becoming the standard for all websites as visitors are increasingly concerned about their data being intercepted or misused online. Search engines and browser makers feel so strongly on the importance of HTTPS, that warnings are now displayed for sites not using secure sites. Search engines are also starting to rank HTTPS sites better in their search results. Making your website substantially more secure from hacking by encrypting data exchanged is very important and instills both confidence and trust to website visitors.
Additionally, websites that aren’t mobile friendly may not render correctly, can be difficult for visitors to read or use making mobile visitors likely to avoid your site all together. Search engines have now started giving better rankings to sites that are mobile friendly. A poor mobile presence can make your organization look unprofessional, out of touch and possibly harder to find in web searches. If you want your website to stay competitive in web searches and cater to your mobile visitors, your site should be HTTPS secure and mobile friendly.
Websites supporting HTTPS has been steadily increasing and it has been reported that:
- Over 50% of web traffic is now encrypted on computers and mobile devices
- 80% of internet users own a smartphone
- 48% of consumers start mobile research with a search engine —
but 33% go directly to the site they want - Google dominates search on desktop and drives 96% of mobile search traffic
- Google favors HTTPS and responsive sites for mobile users and ranks search results higher than those that don’t
- Chrome and Firefox latest versions display warnings if users attempt to enter passwords or credit card details into forms loaded on non-HTTPS pages
- Over 50% of smartphone users grab them immediately after waking up. So if you publish/send content early, people are more likely to be viewing on mobile
- 57% of users say they won’t recommend a business with a poorly designed mobile site
With all of this in mind, let our technology expertise guide your business growth into the future with a mobile optimized website, increased security, and automation benefits.
