Is your website mobile compatible?

Did you know that 86% of Americans own a mobile phone? Now, more than ever, people are relying on their mobile phone for things like checking email, surfing the web, shopping, and much more.

As a result many larger companies are creating smart phone apps that allow for quick and easy access to information. They are also creating mobile versions of their website to make it easier for visitors to navigate the content of their site on a cell phone. If you don’t have a mobile compatible website, take a look at how it looks when you try to view it from your smart phone. Does the navigation and text look small? Is it difficult to jump from one link to another without having to enlarge? What you’ll find is that most websites that aren’t mobile compatible are frustrating to browse. And frustrated visitors lead to people leaving the your website.

So how do you make your website compatible for people looking you up on their smart phone? That depends on the platform your website is built on. If you have a WordPress website you’ll want to download an ithemes plugin and edit the CSS to match the design of your website. You’ll also want to design a header for your mobile site. Of course, you’ll have to purchase the license for the theme before you can do any of this.
