Is your website holding you back?
If your website is not optimized to look great on mobile phones and tablets. Then the answer is yes, your website is holding you back and costing your business valuable opportunities.
In today's world having a mobile friendly website is the expectation. When a website visitor lands on a site that is not mobile friendly. Statistically they are more than likely to quickly leave the site to never return.
Find out if your site is mobile friendly
In late March 2015 Google announced that it will rank sites that are not mobile friendly lower in the search engine results listing. Shortly after that Bing and Yahoo announced made the same announcement.
The reason a non mobile friendly site is a problem , it provides a poor user experience. If a person has to work harder to read the content on a site by zooming in, they are less likely to convert or even return to that site.

content.

factor.

6. BEST PRACTICES FOR MOBILE
Make sure users can easily browse your website with just a finger, or thumb.
Replace text links with large, easy to tap buttons.
Make sure links have enough space between them so users don’t accidently
tap the wrong ones. Make it easy for mobile users to see and access all the
pages of your website. Avoid dropdown menus.
Mobile users should be able to read your website without having to pinch or
zoom.
Font size should be a minimum of 16 pixels.
Place important info like your address or phone number in an obvious location.
Maps and click-to-call buttons are great ways to draw your customer’s
attention.
