Get growing – get your website mobile!

Savvy small business owners across the country are therefore doing what they can to get mobile-friendly.

How do you do that? The first step is to get your website compatible with mobile devices. As you’d imagine, mobile users have a different online experience than people using desktop devices.

Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering a mobile friendly website:

• Mobile device users have a shorter attention span (when using smartphones, that is). They look for a specific result when they visit a website and if they don’t find it they move on. So you want to catch their attention early.
• They are also less likely to read heavy text on the page. An image based approach is preferable where possible. Save text for things that can’t be shown with buttons and other visuals.
• Slower download speeds mean your content needs to be more efficient. Trim fat wherever you can.
• Flash applications are still a nightmare for mobile devices and usually can’t be run from them.
• The portable nature of mobile devices really opens up the possibilities in terms of how they can be used. Don’t be afraid to get creative! 

Luckily, it’s a simple, easy process to create a version of your website that’s mobile compatible.
