A common misconception that I run into when talking with many businesses is that their old, out of date website is good enough for their business. Years ago before smartphones and tablets became so widely used, just simply having a website was good enough, but now in this fast paced technologically-advanced world, viewing web pages on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets is becoming increasingly common. In fact by 2015 more people on average viewed web pages through mobile devices than through non-mobile devices such as desktop computers and laptops.
Now you might be thinking to yourself:
"wait a second, my website is somewhat outdated how do I even know if it is mobile friendly?"
One way to check is by visiting the Google mobile friendly test. You can visit it by clicking the button below:
(All you need to do it simply paste the url of the webpage you want to test, click on the blue analyze button, and Google will tell you if your website is mobile friendly.)
"Well why do I even need a mobile friendly website?"
A mobile friendly website is extremely important, not only because more searches are made on mobile devices, but because a good or bad online experience makes a huge impact on potential customers! A smooth and helpful website experience leaves a good impression, and helps direct traffic to your business, while a disorganized and inefficient mobile site can leave users with a bad first impression.
"Where can I even get a mobile friendly website?"
At Like It Media Group, all the websites we create are "Responsive Websites". A responsive website is a site that understands what device the user is viewing the site from, and adjusts how the site appears, so it looks professional whether it is being visited from a desktop computer, a tablet, or a smartphone. If you already have a website, we can also work with you to make it mobile friendly!
