Important Tips to Make Your Website Mobile Friendly

According to a study an increase has been observed in the number of smartphone

users and it is still expected to grow. As observed, smartphone users are not just

using the devices to make calls, send text messages or emails but they are also using

their smart phones to connect with their friends over the social media, surf the Internet

for information, shop online and make other important purchases.

So if your business website is not optimized to cater to the needs of the mobile traffic,

it could be losing on its prospective clients and sales. Read on to know more on how

to optimize your website to increase your conversions.

Be responsive

The website must be designed based on different screen size. With the increasing use

of various hand held devices, a responsive website can give the users a better

viewing experience. By having a responsive web design for your website you can

easily manage your business website on different devices as there would be no need

to have a separate URL. Responsive web design also comes with its set of SEO

benefits.

Easy to navigate design

Mobile screens are smaller in size than the desktop screens therefore the design of

your mobile website must be easy to navigate even with the touch of a thumb. There

should be no need to zoom in or zoom out the text because if such a situation arises,

your business website is not completely optimized.

Simple design

The main focus while developing a mobile friendly website must be on the content

and the design. As a mobile website, your business has few seconds to convey the

services to the clients therefore it must have all the important details. In addition,

when designing for mobile devices, the ability of a website to load at a faster pace

must be kept in mind. Smaller byte sized images should be used instead of videos

and large images that take a long time to load.

To the point content

Smart phones, notebooks and tablets have smaller screen therefore the services

offered by your company must be told in few words. Mobile-phone users are often in a

hurry to scroll through the content, therefore remember to keep the most important

text at the top so that your customers can know about your services at a single

glance.

Testing the website is also important as it would help you to improve the overall user

experience. The website must be viewed on a variety of handheld devices and

operating systems to ensure that the content can be viewed clearly.
