Many people will visit your website on a phone first. If it is hard to use on a small screen, they may leave before they learn what you offer.
Key points
- Text should be readable without zooming.
- Buttons need to be easy to tap.
- Menus should work on small screens.
- Pages should load quickly.
What mobile-friendly means
A mobile-friendly (or responsive) website adjusts its layout to fit the screen — phone, tablet, or computer — so content is easy to read and use everywhere.
Signs your site needs work
- You have to pinch and zoom to read the text.
- Buttons or links are too close together to tap accurately.
- Images or tables spill off the side of the screen.
- The menu is hard to open or close.
It also affects search
Google looks at the mobile version of a website when deciding how to show it in search results, so a site that works well on phones helps customers and search visibility at the same time.
A quick self-check
Open your website on your own phone and try to find your contact details, one of your key services, and a way to get in touch. If any step feels awkward, your visitors are probably noticing too.
