Smartphones. Smart Business. Taking your Company Mobile!
As mentioned in the January Get Stellar, Stellar Blue is taking your website to the next level by introducing a new area of online marketing: mobile websites.
Mobile websites basically means that through the use of a smartphone, you can connect to the internet and view websites. However, smartphones ranging from Blackberry to HTC view websites differently. Ask yourself, how does your website appear on a 2"x4" screen? Or, are the images or content scrunched? With a Mobile website, there is no concern how your website will appear. Mobile websites provide easy hand-held mobility navigation, clear logo appearance, and easy-to-read content.
Think of a mobile website as a miniature version of your main website. Creating this alternative version comes with many benefits:
• It allows clients, customers, etc. to access your information, any time and anywhere. •Having a mobile friendly website, allows the phone to enable some of it’s services. Such capabilities include direct calling to your company, add information directly into their address book and even direct email. •Many smartphones also include a GPS or location finder application. Having your mobile version of your website, it allows the device user to take the address listed on your website to find your location. •Since we work with small spaces when developing mobile websites, it allows your mobile website to provide more precise information to the user. This leads to more responsive search results and information.
You have the option to put yourself in the hands of your present and potential clients and customers. Mobile websites came about due to popular demand as we further created our phones to be handheld computers. This communication revolution will continue to progress so take advantage today to be on top of your competition. Click here to learn more on Stellar's Mobile Technology.

Corporate Identity with Mobile Technology

Have you ever seen one of these before? They aren’t just gnarly, geometrical inkblots, they are known as QR (Quick Response) codes. These two-dimensional barcodes have been around for a long time working in the shipping and commercial industry. However, with the rise of mobile technology, all businesses, small and large are taking advantage of the codes to enhance their Internet marketing reach.
A QR Code is a matrix barcode that can be tied to a specific web address and is only readable by dedicated QR barcode readers or smartphones with a camera. Meaning, Stellar Blue can generate a specialized QR barcode that links directly to your website or to specific social media pages. These codes are growing in popularity as they are being integrated into both traditional and interactive marketing campaigns.
Ideal locations for QR Codes: •Business Cards •Brochures •Event tickets •Print Ads •Direct Mail campaigns •Email Marketing •Coupons •Viral ads •Click here to watch a video from CNN.com for more ideas!
And so much more! These become highly effective tools of assessing ROI (return on investment) for the allowing the ability to measure the follow-up with a high degree of precision.
It’s also important to note, that working with your designer is a crucial element in ensuring that the barcode is consistent with the other branding elements. To test the QR code functionality, click here to get your smartphone app! For Android, we suggest 'Barcode Scanner.'
Contact Stellar Blue at info@stellarbluewebdesign.com or (920) 905-0250 to discuss your company or organization’s QR barcode. Stellar Blue will work with you to not only create the QR code but also develop and create your marketing material.

Introducing Stellar Blue's Latest Addition to the Team!
Hi, I’m Ben Benesh and I am the newest member of the Stellar Blue team. I recently graduated from the UW-Oshkosh with a B.S. in Computer Science with an emphasis in Software Engineering.

My main goal with Stellar Blue is to bring the world of mobile websites and applications to our clients. With the increased use of smartphones, it is becoming very important to make websites look clean, presentable and easily to read on a smaller screen. Having a mobile friendly version of your website will not only make it quicker and easier for mobile users to read information about your company, but it will also let them know that you are up to date with evolving technology.
I proudly take this position to continue to advance Stellar Blue’s internet marketing. With the internet and mobile devices continuing to grow in popularity and functionality, I look forward to challenging myself and educating our clientele.
We at Stellar Blue can help your company get to the next level of your web presence with a mobile web site or app. I am readily available to answer any of your questions about mobile websites or apps at ben@stellarbluewebdesign.com.
