Think about how you look things up when you’re out and about. Chances are, it’s on your phone. Your customers do the same.
If your website is hard to read or slow to load on a small screen, people leave. They don’t think “I’ll try again on my laptop”. They go to the next business.
What makes a website work well on a phone
- It loads quickly. Large images and extra scripts slow things down. Keep pages light.
- Text is easy to read. No zooming or squinting.
- Buttons are easy to tap. Not tiny and tucked in a corner.
- Menus are simple. A clear menu beats a crowded one.
- Contact is easy. A tap-to-call phone number and a short form make it simple for people to reach you.
- Nothing runs off the side. No sideways scrolling.
Don’t forget search
Search engines look at how your site works on phones, so a good mobile experience helps people find you too.
How to check yours
Open your site on your own phone. Try to find your phone number, your services and your contact form. If anything takes more than a few seconds, that’s worth fixing.
We design every website with phones in mind, and build them in WordPress so you can update them yourself.
