How to make your website mobile friendly?

Making your website mobile friendly is very important to be considered these days since most of the people, because of its vast applications, have started using cell phones extensively. Mentioned below, are  the tips you could keep in mind before making a website to make it mobile friendly.

• Keep navigation easy and simple

You need to understand, when someone is browsing on their cell phone, the screen size in front of them is not going to exceed 6 inches and while that might be a lot, most of the phones are between 4’5-5 inches. A site with a complicated structure with a lot of complicated links are not going to work out on a cell phone. Make sure that your website has a simple and easy navigation.

• Include Location and contact details

Make sure that the location and contact details are visible and the viewer does not find the need to scroll more to get these details. Reason being, if a person over a cell phone cannot find himself in your contact details, he might just move on to another site and contact another agency for his work. This might be a small point but making sure of this small point goes a long way.

• Ensure seamless integration

Though the desktop version and the mobile version might have differences, they should sync perfectly with one another. If an item was added to a cart on the desktop site, the mobile site should be updated on this instantly. This would help the person to shift his work device according to the situations and thus this would ensure a hassle free work for him.

• Focus on speed

Your website data should not be too much. The reason behind for loading time if a website takes more time, then the user loses his or her interest in the site and moves along to the next one. The site should be appropriately sized according to the relevant data to be displayed on the site.

• Avoid Flash

A lot of websites do not have flash installed. So they cannot view a few sites. Make sure your website does not require flash to work else you might lose potential viewers on your site.
