Olney Podiatrist Increases Accessibility to Practice Through Mobile Website

    OLNEY, MD, April 27, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Patients constantly on-the-go can now experience increased accessibility to important foot and ankle health care information via the launch of the mobile website for Family Foot and Ankle Associates of Maryland. While patients are on-the-go, they can easily access the website for Family Foot and Ankle Associates, podiatrist in Olney from their smartphones without the slow loading time of normal websites.

Mobile websites are designed for the small screen. From iPhones to Androids, mobile websites properly fit and work on these smartphones. By 2014, more people are expected to use their smartphones than their desktop computers. These popular smartphones can, among many other functions, surf the web. The purpose of a mobile website is to offer the same information as traditional websites, but with the ability to function properly at a smaller size.

"Millions of people are accessing mobile websites every single day, and the numbers are steadily rising. For this reason, it was important for me to create a mobile website for my patients to easily access my practice, in addition to valuable foot and ankle health care information," said Dr. Goldberg, foot doctor in Olney.

Scaled down versions, in terms of size and content, mobile websites are generally under 300 pixels wide, compared to traditional websites which can be 800 pixels and much larger. A mobile website's navigation can also be easily accessed using a thumb or finger, as the buttons typically span the width of the phone.

Most patients visiting the mobile website will be, in fact, mobile themselves. Generally, patients don't visit a website or surf on their phone without a specific purpose in mind. Often that means finding phone numbers, location, hours of operation, services offered, and even educational information on topics of interest, including orthotics in Olney.

Family Foot and Ankle Associates, podiatrist in Olney, MD, continues to take strides toward remaining on the cutting edge of technology with the creation of Family Foot and Ankle Associates of Maryland's mobile website. Patients can now easily access information on the practice, Drs. Goldberg, Farnworth and Frank and a host of podiatric educational information while they are on-the-go.

To schedule an appointment, patients can either call (301) 924-5044 or use the practice's online appointment scheduler. To use this, patients can simply navigate to the online scheduler on the website and choose the practice location that is closest to them. After this, a list of available appointment times will appear and patients simply have to choose the time that works best for them.
