Are you mobile friendly?

Hey friends,

We all know about the smartphone revolution and I'm sure you are familiar with it by now. I've got one and I expect you probably have one too so let's have a look at some stats...

  • 70% of people in the UK currently have a smartphone, a figure probably reflected around the developed world.
  • The smartphone revolution has grown 10 times quicker than the internet did.
  • 61% of visitors will abandon a website that isn't mobile within 3 seconds.
Now, let's think about Google for a moment. A huge percentage of all online searches are through Google which makes it essential for businesses to follow their guidelines. Google has recently changed their policy to penalise websites that are not mobile friendly. Use the link below to test out your own site and, if you are a web designer offering your services to local businesses, give it to them also and let them test whether their website is mobile friendly or not. If their site shows as non responsive/mobile friendly via this link then it's a great way to sell them your services and your responsive website builder platform!


Small businesses (and us) need to understand that being responsive is not 'just an extra feature' anymore. Not having a responsive website will take you and your clients off the map.

You have been warned ;-)

Thanks all, have a great day.

Thank's, Mark.

You're very welcome Jeff.

I have a smart phone but only use it as a phone as I found out when trying to learn how to use it that it is smarter than I am so it sits in the corner neglected.

Thanks, for sharing.

No probs!

I just tried it, and I'm mobile friendly! Thanks for the share:)
Blessings:)

You're welcome Suzi, any time!

Thank you Mark. Cheers, William.

No worries William.

Fantastic, Mark! Mine's good....
Yay, Omega.
I wonder if it helps that I usually use a smartphone, myself....

You're welcome Therese,
I use Omega myself and I expect it does help that you use a smartphone yourself...makes you appreciate what you need to have when you see your own site on your own phone!

Great info Mark :)

Glad you think so Jude, hope you're having a great day!
Mark

So true! Thank you for the reminder and the "head's up". I check my site daily from my phone to see what it looks like mobile and to make sure it's responding. So far, so good. I hope it stays that way. Very informative post!

You're welcome Midge.......and thanks for the follow.
Good luck here at WA, follow all of Kyle's training via the green button top left step by step and you won't go far wrong.
Any time you get stuck either ask a question in the training thread you're in, ask a general question via the Q button at the top of your home page or nip into the chat room via the blue live chat button, again, top left of your home page.
Onwards......
Mark
