Has Your Website Been Mobilized?
Posted onOver 93 percent of American adults now carry cell phones. Experts have forecast that mobile phones will surpass desktop computers within the next five years when it comes to accessing online content. The big problem is that most websites don’t fit the mobile user experience with its small screens and slower Internet speeds.
Do you have to zoom and scroll frequently to access all your web content? Do some areas of your website load slowly, or not at all? Is it hard for you to find and use the site’s contact information? Is it impossible for users to simply click to call?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, your website is not mobilized. Your website might shrink itself to fit your mobile screen, but merely shrinking to fit is not enough. Most websites become too small to read and navigate after shrinking – and too slow to load.
