Questions and Answers
Q: How do I make sure my site is mobile friendly?
A: Your first step is to buy a responsive site. This will ensure that your website maintains usability as it changes slightly to fit onto mobiles, tablets and smaller screens. For example a 3 column layout changes to 1 column on a mobile so the text is nice and big.
Next, make sure all of your images are a small file size.
Speed! Less is more for mobile sites. Don’t overload your site with lots of images and videos.
