Jonathan Thaler is a mobile web and QR expert whose passion for the independent music community, combined with his deep technical expertise from 20 years as a systems developer for major corporations, have converged to create
When I'm Mobile.
When I'm Mobile is a comprehensive website strategy designed to provide a valuable web experience for the audience, and to maintain constant access to that audience, regardless of where the browsing experience takes place. As more people are becoming comfortable with browsing the web from mobile devices, most prominently the iPhone, Jonathan is exploiting the capabilities of each device to create a rich web experience within each browsing environment.
Jonathan has created multimedia experiences for most smartphones, and fully mobile-standards-compliant versions usable by the majority of mobile browsers. The advantages this can bring to any industry are numerous.
- Purchases can be made directly on the phone via browser or related apps
- Visitors to the website can listen to or view content without being able to download
- Event dates can be viewed by all and updated on the fly
- The content-provider effectively has an interactive, multimedia press kit on everyone's phone as a promotional tool and additional revenue stream.
