Nowadays over 55% of website traffic comes from mobile devices, so it’s increasingly important to make sure your website is fully optimised for mobile users. Every website we design is mobile-friendly and we thoroughly test your website across devices to make sure it not only looks good but also functions as it should.
Five ways we create our mobile-friendly websites:
- We use a responsive layout which means the website will adjust to fit the screen size of the device it’s being viewed on, this eliminates the need for a separate mobile site. Your website will look good on desktop and mobile!
- We make sure your website speed is optimised. If you are viewing a website on mobile, loading speeds are crucial as mobile internet speed can be unreliable and slow. There are many ways we can optimise your website for speed; when building the site we use lightweight images, we minify our CSS and JavaScript, and we host websites on a fast server. All of these things combined make for a website perfect for mobile.
- We make it easy to contact you. Mobile users are more likely to get in touch with you if they can do so easily, we do this by ensuring your contact details are clickable links and that your call and email buttons are clear and easy to spot.
- We use simple navigation. Mobile menus are generally displayed at the top of the site, we use generally use hamburger menus which open up when clicked on and display a list of the website pages. This makes your site easy to navigate.
- We thoroughly test your website on different screen sizes as we are building. We go through and check all buttons work as they should, check the text is readable on a smaller screen and that images are optimised and display as they should.
