That’s nice, even if we say so ourselves: the Belfabriek website is now even more accessible for mobile users.

As a provider, we know better than anyone how important mobile phones are. In the last two decades, we have all started to communicate more and more via mobile; not only because of the falling mobile call costs, but also because we are increasingly emailing, chatting and web browsing.

Mobile phones are also gaining more and more ground in organizations. Virtual numbers, such as 0800, 088 or 085 service numbers, can easily be forwarded to the mobile phones of individual employees. This means they no longer have to be at their desks to be reachable.

Actually, mobile phone sounds a bit disrespectful, because with the smartphones we all have in our pockets these days, we can do a lot more than just call. For example, data usage is constantly increasing, which we also notice in the statistics of our website. Currently, one third of the visitors to Belfabriek.nl are mobile, whereas a few years ago it was a negligible percentage. That called for the necessary changes to our website.

More pleasant mobile reading

To welcome the growing number of mobile visitors, we have made some changes to the ‘back-end’ of this website. These changes are invisible to those who visit the site with a desktop computer, but all the more noticeable for mobile users.

Where mobile users in the past got a miniature version of the site, the site now adapts to the screen size. The size of the headings is adjusted, tables are placed one below the other instead of next to each other, and so on. This prevents a lot of zooming and accidentally clicking on the wrong link because the letters are so small.

In technical terms, we say that this website is now ‘responsive’.

Smartphones and tablets

By mobile users, we don’t just mean smartphone users. Anyone who accesses the website with a tablet will notice that the layout and font size adapt. The layout of the website also adapts to the screen width on small televisions, some laptops, portable game consoles and PDAs. Try it yourself on your mobile devices; and then also turn the screen between vertical and horizontal.

With this adjustment, we make the website more user-friendly for visitors, which makes reading articles and support documentation, registering telephone numbers and requesting our contact details a lot easier.

Securely register mobile phone numbers

For those who want to order a telephone number from a mobile or tablet, the responsive website is a godsend. Because the site adapts to the size of your screen, it is now much more comfortable to register a number from your mobile in our online store. Because we also always use a secure connection on mobile, all mobile number registrations with us are also safe.
