We Can Create The Perfect Mobile 1st Site!These days, more and more users are browsing the web on mobile devices instead of desktop computers and for 2018, Google will be implenting their Mobile 1st ranking algorithim. This will change the game as far as web design goes and it’s crucial to make sure your business is keeping up and on the playing field.
At TeamVFM, we provide the full range of mobile web design services and can help you to create a site that will operate perfectly on any and all types of devices.
What makes mobile web design different from other web design?
One big difference is the screen size. Mobile devices will typically have much smaller dimensions than desktop computers, meaning that the same layouts will not necessarily work as effectively.
There are two ways to get around this problem. One is by using a separate ‘mobile site’ that will work with mobile devices specifically. Another is to use responsive design, which means your site will alter dynamically to suit the display it’s being viewed on. Responsive design is by far the preferable approach and has multiple advantages over other strategies – being viewable on a much wider range of devices for instance.
Other considerations also need to be made. Will your choice of typeface work on a smaller display? Do you have too many elements resulting in a crowded look?
Mobile web design also means taking into account the practical considerations of a mobile site. Touch interfaces for example will always be different from point and click interfaces – with things like drop down menus being untenable. Other elements like Flash animations simply won’t load on mobile devices and need to be dropped entirely. Page load time optimization is always important with any website but it becomes even more crucial when a mobile user is viewing your site through their data plan.
According to a study commissioned by Google, over 89% of users are more likely to return to a mobile-friendly site. But that’s not all. Some 92% of users are more likely to buy if the site is mobile friendly. On the other hand, if your website is not friendly to mobile viewers, you could be in trouble. On the same study, it was found that over 80% of users are “frustrated” and “annoyed” by a non-mobile-friendly website. Some 88% said a company “doesn’t care” about its business if its site is not mobile friendly. Some 85% of users are unlikely to engage with a business that has a non-mobile-friendly site.
You need a responsive site as more and more people are using mobile devices to browse online. First of all, ABI Research estimates that there will be 2.4 billion smartphones by the end of 2017. Roughly three-quarters of Americans (77%) now own a smartphone, with lower-income Americans and those ages 50 and older exhibiting a sharp uptick in ownership over the past year, according a Pew Research Center survey conducted in November 2016.
Smartphone adoption has more than doubled since the Center began surveying on this topic in 2011: That year, 35% of Americans reported that they owned a smartphone of some kind. With the current population at 7.6 billion, that’s 1 smartphone for every 3 people.
Meanwhile, comScore estimates that 28% of smartphone owners also own a tablet. Needless to say, mobile device ownership is up and will continue to rise in the future.
If your website is not mobile friendly, you won’t be able to take advantage of these trends. Worse, your customers will be looking to your competitors for the products and services you can provide. And all of this is because they bounced off your “frustrating” non-responsive website.
