It's not that hard to do. I have gathered the following 10 easy steps for you to follow. If you do every one of these, your site will be mobile friendly and no one will have trouble connecting with you or doing business with you via a mobile device:
1. Keep your website basic, not fancy. A flashy website will not translate well to a mobile device. Keep things simple and stick to basic website design.
2. Think about how your mobile clients will see your subject matter on your site. Use a mobile device yourself to review your own site. You won't know if your site is coming through to them or not without basically checking.
3. Keep the ads down to a minimum. You might find that your ads are actually taking up too much space for mobile customers. You may want to move them to another area. Ads do not work as well on a mobile device like they do on your website. Again, check to see what the ads look like on a mobile device.
4. There is special coding that you might need to do so that people can view your content properly on a particular mobile platform. Your content will need to be in the best format for different mobile platforms.
5. Navigation works really well on a mobile device. Consider utilizing more navigation for your mobile site. Use short drop-down menus. Make sure that when a customer selects your drop-down that the specific drop-down takes them to the relevant page. Don't add layers to your site. Take your users right to where they need to go based on what your drop-down menu states.
6. Make your links short. If you have ever tried to send a text message, you know that at times it can be a challenge. While most people are getting really good at texting, it is still troublesome to type in those long links. Don't irritate your customers. Make it a pleasant experience.
7. Put one post or set of posts on one page. This goes back to making your site as basic as feasible. Keep your content organized and make it easy to read on these small mobile devices. I like to keep one post on each page.
8. In place of having a generic entry page, put your content on the first page. It is always a good idea to keep your most important and most current content first.
9. Occasionally links just don't work correctly on a mobile friendly site. A good idea would be to put your links at the end of your content. Your links may work well within your content on your regular site but they don't typically work well on a mobile site. If you put your links at the end of your post or content, it makes the site simpler for your clients to find their way through to them.
10. As far as navigation on your mobile site, a drop-down arrangement or a hover navigation system works the best. These types of navigation literally save a lot of space on the individual mobile device and will make it simpler for your customers to use.
Mobile devices are undeniably the way of the future. So, don't sacrifice customers because your website can't be viewed on these types of devices. Use these 10 steps to make your site mobile friendly. Make your site simple to use and capture every customer you can.
