QR Codes and Mobile Optimized Websites – Information at your Fingertips


Oil Skimmers, Inc., Joins the Mobile Web Revolution



QR codes and mobile optimized websites – information at your fingertips.



Cleveland, Ohio, February 2012 – In today’s society, if companies want to send users to a website, it is important to have a mobile optimized version. This allows the site to be viewed on a phone screen in a layout conducive to the size of the screen, rather than attempting to view a website created to be viewed on large computer screens. Mobilized sites enable easy navigation, which is important to the growing number of mobile web users who want information at their fingertips and immediate access to content from almost anywhere. Different design and content limitations on mobilized sites allow for a faster mobile web experience and increased usability, which increases user satisfaction.

Oil Skimmers, Inc. has now created a mobile optimized version of their new website and has also begun using a QR code on all print advertisements. Vice President Jim Petrucci believes this will be useful for plant managers and customers who may want to look at the site but do not work in an office setting with constant computer access. It can also be useful at trade shows and for representatives when they are visiting potential customers. Quick Response Codes (QR Codes) are two-dimensional barcodes that are readable by smart phones and hold more information than the traditional one-dimensional barcodes used by retail stores. The United States uses these codes for convenience-oriented applications aimed at mobile phone users – called mobile tagging. QR Codes can appear on signs, business cards, brochures, product packaging, name tags at trade shows, even in magazines. One-fifth of Americans are now accessing the mobile web daily, according to results from a 2009 Pew Research Center Report. This demonstrates a growth of 73% from December 2007. In a time when mobile web usage is steadily increasing each year, companies cannot afford to NOT mobilize their websites and take part in the QR Code movement.

Oil Skimmers, Inc. engineers and manufactures tube oil skimmers. Oil sticks to the outside of a specially formulated, closed-loop collector tube that snakes over and around debris. Designed with non-clogging, long-lasting components, the Model 6V and Model 5H units run unattended 24 hours a day, year-round, and are the most dependable, cost-effective and uncomplicated solutions for removing waste oil from water.
