Which Detective Is YOUR Website? Columbo?? Miss Marple? Or....

By
Real Estate Agent with Remax equity group DRE# 200506219

Can your website detect visitors who are visiting via their smart phones?

Does your website allow those visitors the ability to see a message just for them? And then allow them to call or email you - get a map - with just a tap?

Schmap Enable does just that. A little bit of code enables your website for the mobile internet, and ensures that visitors with iphones, Blackberries and other smartphones can easily find your location on a map.  Visitors with smartphones see a yellow banner that says 'Tap here for contact details and map.' Regular web visitors don't see the banner. 

Getting the code is a snap!

Go to the Schmap Enable site, and click on Get Code.

That link takes you to the page to set up what the smart phones will see.  You can even customize your personal background and text colors if you want. I did - I love greens and use them every where!

After selecting your custom colors, move on to the data entry - you'll be able to see what it looks like as you enter it.  Kind of fun!

Now you just have to copy the code from the little box as directed to your website homepage and you're set. 

Visitors with smart phones will see a banner  which they can click to get your info, and call or email you in the moment!

Isn't technology great!

Something is wrong with me. Everyone comes with some stuff so technical, that I sometimes expect young kids behind it, but I am dead wrong. You surprise me. When do you find time for all this fascinating stuff.

Jon -- Nothing is wrong with you!   I love technology -- but if you notice, this is a VERY simple thing to do.  I am no techie -- although I'd love to be one.  I lucked on to this one -- because a photo of mine was included in the NYC Schmap City Guide-- or I never would have found it. Oh the Places You'll Go.... is the first post about Schmap

That could almost -- almost! -- encourage me to make my next phone a smart phone. So far I'm still one of those who uses my phone to make and receive telephone calls -- LOL.

Russel -- LOL for sure.  The 'smart phone' is something I stayed away from for years!  I switched when the iphone came out -- I love Apple!
