Why is it important to create a mobile website?
Smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices are steadily gaining popularity. More and more people use a mobile device to access the internet. It is often quicker to look something up using your smartphone or tablet than to start up your computer. The technology for mobile internet like 3G or LTE is constantly improving too, making surfing the internet on the go an attractive option. As a website owner, it is important to adapt to this trend quickly by creating a mobile version of your page.
A mobile version improves Google rankings
Another reason that creating a mobile website is search engine ranking, from Google for example. Search engines recognize the rapidly growing trend for mobile internet access. Since the latest Google update, websites that do not have a mobile optimized version are ranked lower than those without. This in turns affects their visibility and reach, as they are visited less frequently. In order to maintain a high ranking or to increase it, it is very important to make sure that your website is mobile friendly.
Mobile optimized websites increase user-friendliness
Creating a mobile version of your website has multiple advantages when it comes to user friendliness. For example, your content will be adapted to the screen size of the user's device, be it a smartphone, tablet or laptop. Text, pictures and navigation are all automatically adjusted to the right size. Another reason to optimize websites for mobile devices is that it decreases loading times.
