Consider This: Creating Your Mobile Site

Have you ever viewed a business’ mobile site and thought: this is an amazing mobile site?! Probably not.  Which is fine.  Things that make an amazing website and an amazing mobile site are very different.  While a website is meant to be viewed on a computer is geared to visually impress and functional, a mobile site should prioritize functionality and ease over aesthetics.  Check out our blog on why you need a mobile site for your business here.

Below are some things to consider when creating your mobile site:

-Generally people looking at your mobile site want very basic information: contact information, hours of operation, and do you have what they’re looking for (i.e. a menu for a restaurant, product details, services provided, etc).  If they are primarily searching you to reach a live person, include a click-to-call button.

-Design for multiple mobile devices.  Make sure your mobile site works and looks good on multiple types of mobiles devices.  Also don’t forget the larger devices like an iPad or Kindle Fire.  Include a link to the full website so tablet users have the option to view the entire version.

-Think about which pages need to be included on your mobile site.  Not all your pages will need to be included.  Carefully consider and prioritize the info a mobile site viewer will be looking for.

And finally, remember, creating a mobile site can be overwhelming so don’t be discouraged.
