2010-10-23

MIDDLESEX, ENGLAND, October 23, 2010 (Press-News.org) ASOS has launched its debut mobile site ahead of the Christmas retail shopping season.

In response to a significant increase in ASOS customer visits via mobile phones - which doubled from accounting for 1.5% of all ASOS visits through the main website in January 2010, to 3% last month - the mobile site has been designed to work across all mobile devices including Blackberry, Symbian, Android and iPhone operating systems.

Additional figures report 24,000 ASOS orders have been processed over the last six months through mobile 'phones using the main website, with 175,000 visits to the site from mobile devices in a typical week.

Customers can directly access the mobile site using the URL m.asos.com but will also be redirected to the mobile optimised version of the site should they type www.ASOS.com.

The full ASOS range and popular features, including "Save for Later" and multiple refining options, are offered. Integration with the existing ASOS checkout and customer accounts has been incorporated to further streamline the user experience.

ASOS Design, UI and UX teams built the mobile site in-house - in partnership with Usablenet - and there is now an internal ASOS team dedicated to ongoing mobile site development.

James Hart, e-Commerce director at ASOS, says: "I'm delighted to bring a much-improved shopping experience to our customers coming to ASOS from their mobile phones. And this is just the start of a very exciting journey to offer them their ASOS, their way. Our site works well on any device but we've also used web kit to further enhance the smart 'phone experience. For example, customers can multiple-refine from category pages at the touch of a button, which we believe is a first for a UK retailer."

Consumer Bankruptcy: Understand the Law and Choose the Right Attorney

The 2005 changes to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code were designed to make it more difficult for Americans to file for bankruptcy. Specifically, the changes were intended in part to push more individuals away from Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and toward Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. The 2005 changes, however, seem to be no match for the current economic realities facing many Americans. Nor have the changes in the law substantially altered an individual's ability to file for bankruptcy protection. In passing the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA), Congress ...
