    Another idea.

    Users and companies have been changing their behavior/strategies towards mobile apps and social media, in prejudice of websites.

    Social media is becoming increasingly important (some companies are not even bothering to build a website). Today, nearly 80% of business have a dedicated team, social media is now a standard operating procedure.

    Sports stars, like Lionel Messi, Kobe Bryant and Cristiano Ronaldo, have left websites almost completely and are engaging with their fans via Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. The website they own is not devoted to the player itself or to sell products, but as a place to promote their social media profiles.

    An interesting example is obsessee.com. obsessee.com has as its only function to connect to their various social media profiles. And there are other examples of brands that only exist solely on social media.

    There are more than one million apps in major app stores, something like an app for any circumstance in our life. In the scientific literature, there are evidences that users prefer to use Mobile Applications instead of web browsing, and stores which have an app have more chances of selling their products than those who do not (Kang, Mun, & Johnson, 2015).

    This evidence suggests a change in users’ behavior and companies’ strategy towards Websites, influenced by the increasing use of Social Media and Mobile Apps.

    As an expert, what do you think about this?
    Why do you think users are changing their behavior?
    Can you imagine this a problem to the future of websites due to its (probable) decreasing use?

        I agree with you.

        But to reach the consumers, it is necessary to understand their journey.

        Imagine the following scenario:
        On my Facebook news feed, I find an article about Denver Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon and while reading the comments I feel compelled to participate. Through the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series Mobile Application I can make the online registration. Since I live in Lisbon, and never visited Denver, I decide to stay for some days after the event. On Airbnb app I rent a place for those dates. The Air Transportation app provides me with the ideal platform for flight booking and online check-in. At Denver, Uber’ or Spinster’ apps are perfect to move around the city. Again, on Facebook, it is possible to search for a group of runners in order to keep up with the necessary stamina for the event and maybe to get to know the Half Marathon route. While in Denver I can use Trip Advisor app or Foursquare Social Media platform to choose the best restaurants and use Google Maps or the Official Denver Visitor App to see main spots to visit…

        This scenario illustrates the possibility of making everything by only using apps and social media platforms, without the need of visiting a Website. And I can imagine several other scenarios with the same output.

        A paradigmatic example comes from China. WeChat app is becoming the dominant portal to the web. WeChat users can book doctor appointments, pay traffic fines, and call a cab all directly from the app. So in addition to not needing to visit a website, they do not even need to visit another app. (The ridesharing apps just integrate with WeChat, which acts as a hub.)

        Strategically thinking, does it makes sense to lead users to our website when it seams that they are not in to it?
