Globe’s Touch Mobile recently launched a new website called RepublikaTM.com. Personally I think this is one of the best mobile sites I’ve seen in a while. The loading time isn’t too long, it’s direct-to-the-point, and they have strong images that grab your attention. The copy is also perfect for the target market. I only have a few recommendations to make but over-all I’m impressed.
Strong imagery and plain but attention-catching copy
The use of graphics in this site is superb. The front flash carnival is helpful and it’s also interesting how they stylized Dingdong Dantes to match the color theme. It actually gives a better emphasis on his character and makes you take notice right away. What I like about the home page as well is that the main banners have call to actions which will tell you where you should click (obvious and in-your-face presentation).
Almost consistent across the site
The use of strong imagery and direct copy is almost consistent in all parts of the site. If you check the screenshot I have above, they do a good job of explaining the products that they’re offering. It won’t take a genius to figure everything out. The lay-out of their promos section is also the same. Well done.
What’s a sub?
My only major critique is something they can easily address. The copy of their FAQ is quite verbose and is in technical language. Since their target market here is C, D, & E, I don’t think they’ll understand a “sub”. Also, it would have been better if they made the mechanics for consumer consumption (taglish, etc.) to make it easier to read.
Another note for improvement would probably be the scaling of the site. In my resolution almost 3/4′s of the site is Dingdong Dantes. Can’t see the tabs at the bottom (unless this is intentional in the design).
Anyway, this is a good example of how you can make a stylized site look good even if you want it to be simple. I can’t say the same for the competitor of TM, Smart Talk N’ Text. Their site is just hideous. As in it hurts me eyes to view their content, lol.
Hi. Hmm ask lang. Bakit ganon ang TM? Laging kinakain load ko. Since nung nag TM ako nung July, hanggang ngayon, pag nagpapaload ako, laging kinakain load ko. Pag tinatawagan naman yung 730-1500, wala naman ako makausap ng matino. Puro tungkol sa Unli, Ringtone, Internet, etc. Siguro umabot na sa 200 o 300 yung nakain sakin. Everytime na magpapaload ako ng 20, wala pang 1minute, wala na kagad yung load ko. Tapos magpapaload na naman ako. Dun lang ako makakapag unli. Haaaay! Sana naman po masolusyonan toh. Nasasayang yung pera ko kakaload. Pati yung mga kaibigan kong TM din, nakakaranas ng ganito sa TM. Sana magawan kagad ng paraan. Thanks.

I’m Using TM for 7 years na po, and there’s no problem naman with my sim. Cguro sa nawawalan ng load maybe nagsuscribe kau sa any 4 digit number like 2864, , i tried that kasi, naresolve naman after i stopped all those unnecessary subscriptions. Un lang complain ko eh napakahirap po magregister sa promos ninyo like unlicombo and astigcombo20. un lang naman po ang ginagamit ko palagi. Please po iimprove nyo po ung services nyo with unlimited call and text.
ask ko lang promo for international txt and call in qoatar?
