How do you know if your website is mobile-friendly? There are a lot of things to consider when thinking about how mobile websites differ from regular websites. Users need to be able to navigate easily through your website and find the information they require quickly.

Here are some common issues reported when viewing websites on mobile devices

  • Complexity / Content–The website has too much information on display; mobile users want easy to find information quickly.
  • Layout– When viewing a website on a mobile device, you will only see a small proportion of a regular website, meaning a user needs to scroll and zoom to find information.
  • Size– Large websites with a lot of content, images and complexity take a long time to load on mobile devices and are quite expansive if the user is paying per MB.
  • Navigation– if the user has to try to zoom in to a portion of a website to click a link, it becomes frustrating and difficult for them.

What are my customers’ needs?

Before you decide what you need in your mobile website, you should consider these questions:

  1. Why would people use a mobile to device to visit your site?
  2. What information do they need from your site in that context?

  • Mostly consuming content
  • Easily distracted by their environment
