Hey Timothy,

It looks great and functions well on my Android phone. I especially like the coupon! Obviously, the Refrigerator/Freezer and other appliance links as well as the About Us link will be working and do something when you launch but I'm sure you're working on that.

The full website even displays nicely and coordinates with the mobile site. The Order Parts link, however, is not congruent with the other stuff and is too small to see. Maybe link to a matching page that just shows the quick part finder section?

Otherwise, good to go IMHO.

Hi Timothy

Likes: Colour

Dislikes..
Navigation is clunky
No CTA
Where is the tap to call?
Where is tap to map with GPS search capability
Some image sliders would be nice
Social networking can also help build awareness

IMO I think this mobile site needs a bit of work before you hand this off to your client...

You need to make a click link at the top with tap to call. If someone is visiting on a mobile device the idea is to make it easy for the to call..

As mentioned, a tap to map feature is obligatory.

Where is your click to call? With no CTA the chances are they will leave your site and go somewhere else .

You definitely want to add tap to call.

I would put some content on the specific pages. Right now, on those pages just the header changes to something like "Get Your Stove Repaired." Like LimeJello mentioned, I'm sure you're still working on it.

Good work so far!

My issue with the site is that it's not completely mobile optimized. View it in your browser and you will see it does not shrink down as far as it should.

You can see this size issue even more clearly in a basic mobile emulator:

Agree with this. Make that click to call pop at the top of the site. I would make it a different color the your other buttons. Maybe yellow?

Works great in both vertical and horizontal on Samsung phone using the standard browser.

Fills the screen width either way with no horizontal scrolling.

Not a good idea to judge how a mobile site looks by using an emulator.

This is how it looks using an Android Virtual Device (WVGA800 480X800 Screen) emulating Android 2.1



I agree with others that the phone number should be on a big 'tap to call' button, I also agree with WillR in that it doesnt seem 100% mobile optimised.

Is the site written in HTML?

I agree with the CTA. You should put this towards the top of the mobile website. Maybe a coupon right under a contact feature. This is huge for getting people to utilize this because we all know how lazy people are getting to even scroll to the bottom to find hidden offers

Great suggestion! Make the offer button bright yellow to draw them in. Love it!
