Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or you just got back from being stranded on a deserted island, then you already know the importance of mobile web design. If your website is not responsive, aka mobile-friendly, then chances are you’re missing out on a lot of potential visitors. Yes, most people are already aware of the importance of mobile design. However, just because your website is mobile-friendly, that doesn’t mean it’s designed right.
There are several aspects to mobile web design. So what elements do you need to have in order to get it right?
Easy-to-Find Contact Information – remember, when you’re on a mobile device, the screen is much smaller than a desktop computer. Therefore, your contact info should be easy to find and clearly labeled. After all, it’s one of the first thing visitors look for if they’re interested.
Easy-to-Read Text – to go along with that point, the text on your mobile site should be clear and easy to read. Choose fonts that are simple and text that is large enough for your visitors to easily see. If they can’t see it clearly, they won’t likely stick around to see what the content actually says.
Quick Performance – speed is crucial for any website, but mobile users have even less patience than desktop users. Your page loading speed must be up to standard or you will lose visitors fast. You only have about a second, sometimes even less, before a visitor gets impatient and leaves.
Social Media – of course, social media is also important in mobile design. So your social media links should also be easy to find and clearly marked so your followers can get right to them if they desire. The buttons should be big enough to easily use but not too big so as to be obnoxious.
