Is your website mobile responsive?
In the digital age, making sure your website adapts to mobile devices is more important than you may realise
Updated from the original Pixel Journal article.
Test the tasks your customers use
Open your homepage on a phone and try to find a service, read its details and send an enquiry. Look for text that needs pinching to read, buttons too close together and forms that run off the screen. Turn the phone sideways and repeat the test.
Check the mobile content
Google uses the mobile version of a page for indexing. Keep your service descriptions, headings, images and important links available on smaller screens. Read Google’s mobile-first indexing guidance.
Make the enquiry easy to finish
Check that labels stay visible while you type, errors explain what to fix and the confirmation tells you what happens next. If a form or menu is getting in the way, explore our responsive website design service.
