Introduction

• The digital world of business has become a harsh
  place to reach the top of the food chain. Even
  harder is the challenge to remain on the top once
  you reach it.
• However, one of the best solutions to this
  challenge is to adapt to the needs of your target
  audience. When in doubt, always accommodate the
  needs of your potential customers.
• And when you take into consideration that more
  than 80 percent of online users have mobile
  devices and that more than half of traffic online
  comes from those mobile users, you get a clear
  image of how vital it is to make a website mobile
  friendly.

  as their prefered format for mobile website The
  point is to make sure that all users (no matter
  the device) get identical information from your
  website.
• The amount of skill and time it takes to create a
  responsive website is high, so make sure to
  either hire or consult a professional developer.

they search for

• When browsing the web using mobile phones, most
  people tend to be in a hurry.
• Whether they are commuting, looking to pass the
  time while waiting in line or in search for
  specific information, they need answers and they
  need them as quickly as possible.
• And it is important for your website to be able
  to provide them with those answers with a few
  simple clicks.

3 Avoid using flash

• Several years ago, Flash fell out of favor in the
  eyes of search engine algorithms. Not only can it
  significantly slow down website speed, but there
  are devices where it fails to perform altogether.
• Another crucial fact to consider here is that
  neither Android or iOS devices support Flash.

4 Incorporate a viewport meta tag

• This is the simplest way to check just how your
  website will look on mobile phones and other
  devices. If the page in question opens up as the
  same width on the screen of your phone as it does
  on your desktop, then something is not right.
• What the viewport meta tag does is communicate to
  browsers to fit the width of your page to the
  scree of the device in question.

5 Make sure to turn off auto correct option for
forms

• one of the better ways to help users save time
  and energy (especially mobile phone users) is
  turning off the autocorrect form.
• A simple modification on your end, but one that
  means a lot to the overall user experience of for
  your website.
• Rather than having people struggle with their
  phone trying to push autosuggestion on to them,
  they will be able to type in the information as
  they see fit.
• As a result, people are less likely to give up on
  filling out the form, or making any mistakes
  while doing so. To make this modification

6 Adjust the size of buttons to mobile devices

• Small buttons are frustrating and nobody likes
  having to deal with them. Having a mouse is all
  nice and great, but what happens when you dont
  have one nearby?
• So, rather than annoying your mobile device users
  endlessly, why not take this potential problem
  out of the equation completely.
• Start by testing all the buttons that you have on
  your website for mobile phone users. And take the
  time to test any new buttons that you add on your
  inner pages.

7 Use larger text fonts

• Reading on smaller screens is difficult enough
  for most people, but having to do so with a tiny
  font is close to impossible.
• When it comes to the choice of fonts, its best
  to stick to standards fonts.
• Introducing any special or unique fonts can only
  slow down page loading speed and draw attention
  from the message you wish to convey.

8 Compress CSS and your images

• You always want to keep your focus on the loading
  speed of your website.
• And this is particularly important when it comes
  to mobile phone users, where patience is in high
  demands and short supply.
• The best way to ensure the optimal speed for the
  mobile version of your website is to compress
  anything that normally takes up a lot of space.

9 Make switching to desktop versions easy to do

• One of the ways to answer the needs of customers
  is to offer them as much flexibility as possible.
• So, giving mobile phone users the option to
  switch to the desktop version of your website is
  always a good step to take.
• Certain users have different preferences and this
  one of them. You want your visitors to be able to
  interact with your website in a way that makes
  the most sense for them.

mobile friendly

• Testing the mobile version of your website is not
  a choice it is a necessity.

  every now and then to go through your website
  functionality by using your mobile phone.

  Internet access from mobile devices, we started
  an avalanche.
• And this avalanche has been growing for the last
  decade, each year bigger and bigger.
• Ultimately, 2016 brought us to a point where
  mobile internet usage surpassed that of desktop
  usage.
• And as a direct result, website owners began
  adapting to the newly found needs of potential
  clients.
• All you need to do is take the time to hire an
  in-house or 3rd party web development team and
  convert your current website into one that is
  mobile responsive and friendly.
• Simple as it might sound, this conversion is a
  process and once you would be wise to plan out.
  Its always best to take the slower, detailed
  approach than rushing things unnecessarily.
