Is Your Website REALLY Mobile Friendly?
August 13, 2021 | WEB DESIGN
Have you ever wondered if it really matters if your website is mobile friendly? In today’s blog, we are going to examine some real numbers from our clients and share how to know if your website is optimized for mobile browsing.
Thirty Three Percent! Yes, an average of 33% total traffic from June to August 10th was from mobile devices. The analysis was carefully done while enjoying a beer on a sofa. My best fishing is done drink in hand, just like my best data analysis. This is real data taken from real clients specifically in the charter fishing industry. Other industries actually have much higher mobile numbers. But why does this matter for you? Keep reading to find out.
We care about mobile-friendly for the same reason we can about fast loading websites. (if you missed that post, you can read about it HERE) Because we want our website visitors to stay on our website! If our business website doesn’t load correctly on their phone, they’ll just leave. Wouldn’t you?
For all you fishing charters out there, Having a mobile responsive website is especially important because many of your customers are booked over the phone! That potential client needs to be able to click one button and be dialing your number to book a trip with you. Each time a potential client leaves your website to book a different trip, you lose hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars. So how can we tell if a website is mobile optimized? Great question:
How to see if my website is mobile friendly, and what to do about it in three easy steps:
Step 1.
Take out your phone and go to your website. Once it loads, how does it look to you? Ask yourself this question: “If I could have my website visitors do just ONE THING, what would it be?” Common answers are: call me, email me, buy now, sign up for the mailing list.
Step 2.
Look at your website on your phone. Ask yourself the following question, “Does my website allow a visitor to do the “ONE THING” in two clicks or less and no scrolling?”
Step 3.
Do whatever you need to do so that visitors can do the “ONE THING” in two clicks or less and no scrolling.
Seconds count when we are talking about converting website visitors. To make the most of precious seconds, your website needs to be optimized for mobile. If you’re not optimized for mobile, don’t panic! It is a relatively simple task to be mobile friendly, and is well worth the effort.
As usual, if you have any questions, please reach out to us. We love getting questions from you guys.
