The human mind has an unlimited capacity to expand. We have only been able to use a very small fraction or percentage of our actual brain power. As quoted by the brilliant novelist Arundhati Roy,Modern Day Technology: A Necessity or Luxury? Articles if the Earth was 46 years old, human beings have only been around for 2 hours of this life, such is the fleeting nature of our seemingly endless existence and history. But in just these 2 hours, the human race has accomplished so much that it can give us a window in what we could accomplish in a day or maybe a few months according to Earth timings. One of the most fascinating developments in the history of the human race is the advent of technology; in just a few years we have advanced from room sized computers to computers that fit in the palm of your hand.

With such a surge in the use of technology, every domain of human life has been affected by it. If only fifteen or twenty years ago, children were playing old video games like Nintendo or even the PlayStation, now they play games on tablets and smart phones, using touch screens on a daily basis. Not surprisingly, then even the domain of business has been largely affected by technology. Maybe 2 decades ago, businesses were just making peace with the fact that they need networking and IT systems for better communication and storage of data; now they need these not just as a competitive edge but as a necessity. Competitive strategies, then stem from further utilization of technology.

One of the examples of gaining a slight competitive edge in today’s world with technology is optimizing your website for various devices like computers and mobile phones. When a website is initially designed on a computer, the dimensions and the general layout of the webpage is designed keeping a computer in mind. Navigation and information distribution are key in designing websites. A smart thing for any start-up company in the Middle East to do would be to find a mobile website design company in Dubai and invest in good website design and development since most of the clients are connected to the internet round the clock. An online access to any business also allows for a larger clientele base.

According to a survey conducted recently, it was found out that smart phone sales had gone up in recent years as compared to desktop sales. It was also discovered that more people use their phones to browse the web than their computers. This is because of the ease of access of smart phones. This is why for a good business to gain a competitive edge, it is necessary to have a mobile optimized website that ensures more traffic. Any good mobile website design company in Dubai or anywhere else in the world will accommodate your company’s business needs, its ideology, its mission and design into the web page design. It is important to catch up with the revolutionary and quickly changing times we live in for survival.
