Is my website mobile friendly?

We’ve had a lot of clients ask us over the last year or two “Is my website mobile friendly?” or “Is my website responsive?”. They’ve witnessed the unstoppable growth of mobile phone usage over the past few years and want to ensure that their website works and displays correctly on a mobile phone.

Well of course it ‘works’ on a mobile phone in terms of being accessible via internet browsers, but is it friendly? Generally pre-2014 website builds by Feelingpeaky Ltd were not mobile friendly. Post 2014 all of our website builds have been set up to be mobile responsive. This means that their layout adapts according to the device the website is being viewed on – be that mobile phone, tablet or desktop.

 

Why is it so important to have a mobile friendly website?

Today more people search on mobile phones than computers and people are 5 times more likely to leave a website if it is not mobile friendly. Ultimately, mobile friendly websites make more money! A better user experience leads to higher conversion rates. Not having a mobile friendly website means you could be missing out on revenues for your business.
