THOSE with aching hearts this Valentine’s Day can rest assured that expert advice is now at the other end of a mobile phone.
Just in time for February 14th, the renowned www.soyouvebeendumped.com founder, Thea Newcomb (employee at Paisley-based NSDesign), has re-designed her website to make it accessible for mobile phone internet browsers, enabling the heartbroken to seek professional advice, discuss relationship problems and watch self-help videos whilst on the move.
Says a spokesperson: “And Thea, originally from California, is the ideal person to launch the site in mobile form, especially as her day job involves managing relationships at Glasgow-based eCommerce company, NSDesign – albeit in a client context, rather than a romantic one.”
www.soyouvebeendumped.com was launched back in 2000 and has built up an avid following across the world.
The site helps newly-found singletons to cope with the break up process, by providing advice, stories, video content and links to articles on the subject.
Thea said: “When I got the job as client relationship manager for NSDesign back in October, it felt like a perfect fit for me between relationships and technology – after 11 years of overseeing www.soyouvebeendumped.com, I consider it to be my destiny.
“Even if I tried, I don’t think I’d be able to escape other people’s relationships!
“With mobile telephones now outnumbering PCs at a ratio of four:one, I’m confident that websites will only succeed in the future if they are easy to access and navigate from mobile telephones – hence my decision to create a mobile version for www.soyouvebeendumped.com.”
Gary Ennis, managing director of NSDesign, said: “Accessing websites via a mobile phone when they have been designed for a desktop computer is often an absolute nightmare – they usually look terrible, involve lots of scrolling, and make it incredibly difficult to find the basic information that mobile users tend to be looking for.”
Thea continued: “If you’ve ever been dumped, you’ll know that the heartache consumes every waking moment – I want www.soyouvebeendumped.mobi website users to be able to get the advice they need at any time of day – whether they are on the bus, stuck in a traffic jam or even queuing at the supermarket.”
