Do I really need a mobile site?
Posted by admin in Advertising, Annual Design Report, Brand Building, Brand Positioning, Brochure Design, Catalog Design, Email, Entertainment, Lead Generation, Web Design on March 10, 2011
It’s no secret that mobile technology is starting to become more popular and some sites report that soon mobile devices will replace desktops as the computer of choice.
This is a perfect time for you to get a mobile version of your website. A mobile site is your website in an edited down version to mainly describe what a mobile user would need to know such as directions, phone number, products, services and any special deals you are promoting.
The way it works is when a user goes to yourdomain.com on a mobile device, a special redirect code directs the user to the mobile friendly site format. Most people who use their phones in order to look at a site only have a minute to view whatever it is they need. Therefore a mobile site allows them to view your information quickly, without a lot of scrolling side to side and up and down to find what they are looking for.
A few reasons why you should have a mobile site.
- Your users are at some point going to view your site on a mobile device.
- Trends show that smartphones will soon be in the hands of most people.
- It’s a great way for you to reach your audience in a way that appeals to them.
- Mobile sites are quick to download and more user friendly than websites.
- All your SEO efforts for your regular site carry over to the mobile version if you set it up properly.

Marion Graphic Design Services for DISA, Inc.

The Marion Group had the honor of providing our graphic design services for DISA, Inc.’s 2009 Year-End Review.
DISA is a leading provider of innovative employee screening solutions and third-party administration services. So, when creating this year-end review, Marion needed to be able to take technical information and graphically represent it in a creative and attractive way.
For the cover, Marion used a textured black paper called Classic Columns XL and applied a silver foil that was stamped and embossed with their logo. The contrast of the silver on the black, combined with the texture of the paper, creates a striking juxtaposition for the reader, even before they open the year-end review.
On the inside of the year-end review, Marion used a 100# gloss paper with dull text and applied a spot ultra varnish on various images and throughout the inside of the review. Like the cover, the contrast of the dull paper with the spot UV coating created a nice distinction that is visually stimulating.
