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.
