A REAL mobile-friendly website should present the same web company branding but one that is designed for small-screen display and browsing. It should take into account the mobility of the consumer and present only relevant information and content from the website. Request a free evaluation of your desktop site, by simply completing the” How Mobile Friendly Is My Website” form located at the bottom of this page.
A mobile friendly should interact with them for their unique device and provide mobile-specific opportunities such as location-based offerings. Interaction should be simple and easy with few clicks, forms should be low maintenance and contact numbers should display as click-to-call.
It’s a website designed specifically for mobile users, and mobile devices. It’s fast to load and easy to use—no pinching and zooming required. Full navigation readable from the home page. Best practice is to host on its own domain either m.youwebsitename.com or yourwebsitename.mobi
A mobile-friendly site is built specifically for the mobile user and to create the best mobile experience. A mobilized site is a totally new website, not your current desktop site that has been shrunk down to fit, that is not a mobile friendly site. A true purpose built mobile friendly site should take advantage of all the mobile features, including click to order, click to call and click to map, so it’s easy for users to get to your businesses— immediately and easily. If your site is a eCommerce site, you especially want to have large add to cart buttons, as well as a mobilized checkout process.

Speed is of the essence especially with Mobile
When a customer is looking for information on his/her phone they have several criteria:
- Will it load quickly (browsers on a phone are slower than on your PC)?
- It must be easy to read without zooming,pinching and scrolling?
- Can he/she find the information they want quickly?
- Can I tap and call or order ‘right now?’
Yes, they may be able to ‘stretch’ the window to view your site, scrolling to and fro. But if they can’t find the info they want within about 3-5 seconds, you’ve lost them! GONE… NEXT…!! on your competitors site.
Wondering what the difference is between the two: Have a look at the image below.
A Regular desktop site on the left and Mobile-friendly site right.
