Introducing CafePepper.com

CafePepper creates fantastic web sites for the iPhone and other mobile devices.  Powered by our trusty Spirit platform, CafePepper allows you to put your best site forward for the surging mobile phone market.

Why mobile? Two reasons:
1. Internet searches on mobile devices are skyrocketing!
2. We were SO tired of looking at websites on our phone and not being able get the information we needed.  A typical “full screen” website is not optimized for a mobile device, leaving us frustrated as we tried to surf the Internet on our phones.

CafePepper makes creating terrific mobile websites easy and even a little fun with great features like click-to-call and click-to-map. Additionally, you can customize your site's colors, styles and fonts with a few clicks in our straightforward site building tool. Add in Google Analytics, and you've got yourself one mean mobile website!

We are super excited to offer this service that connects you with your customers on the go and we hope you'll be excited too.

Things you should know:

Here are a few mobile web stats to think about:

1. 40% of adults access the Internet with their phones according to the Pew Internet report.  “Mobile Access 2010”.

2. One-third of all mobile web searches pertain to the searcher's local environment, meaning customers are looking for goods and services they need while on the go.  Google, March 23rd 2010.!

3. By 2013, mobile phones will overtake PCs as the most common web access device world wide.  ;Gartner Research, Jan 13, 2010.

What does this mean for you?  Customers are already looking for you on their mobile device, and your website is most likely not providing the same great experience on their phone as it does your computer.

More eye-popping stats:

DID YOU KNOW that Facebook now has more than 500 Million users and over 150 Million of those are in the U.S.?  For those of you keeping track, that's 150 Million more Facebook users since January... of this year!

The average user spends 55 minutes per day on Facebook.  Imagine capturing some of that time for YOUR business!

If you have not explored running an ad on Facebook, this can be a great idea for finding your next customer.  The number of users and degree of engagement on Facebook make it an important venue for your business.
