How the most people prefer to consume web services and digital media? Apparently, the preference goes to mobile devices, right? Well, handheld devices besides being accessible all the time transformed the way we access and make use of digital contents. There is no wonder that smartphones and tablets together make the biggest platform for the creation of web-based and native digital contents. From social networking platforms to business websites to entertainment media, all have reformed their digital presence for the mobile audience. Do you know, close to 60% of online activities in the US are done on mobile devices<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Well, such eye opener statistics are no longer needed for many of us since we can easily understand the role of mobile friendly contents in addressing the majority of digital consumers. Website design in the recent times tried to address this issue with a mobile responsive design that allows adapting to the screen size of any device. But even responsive design is not enough to cater to the mobile audience. Do you want to know why?<\/p>\n

A recent comScore?survey in this respect can be an eye-opener. The survey reported that a vast majority of users prefer accessing the digital media and contents through only native mobile apps. As per the survey, 47% of web traffic accounts for the mobile apps while only 8% engage through mobile browsers. The rest of the survey respondents access the web through other devices like desktops and laptops. Didn?t the survey make it clear that mobile apps drive more engagement and traffic than websites?<\/p>\n

There are millions of content rich websites built on WordPress which made it the most popular CMS platform for the web. The appeal of WordPress is prominent with an astounding range of customization tools to ensure a standout look, feel, and exposure.

Moreover, with a mobile app you take advantages of the native device functionalities and thus can enrich the user experience further.
