These days, people are surfing the web on their smartphones more than on desktops. This phenomenon is making responsive web design crucial to keeping your website relevant. Here are some tips to ensure that your website isn’t going to scare off mobile users.
Simple Navigation
There are all sorts of responsive tools that you can use to display all of your navigational choices, without making the site feel messy. Make use of these by adding tools, such as collapsible menus and drop downs, to your mobile site.
Responsive Buttons
Because styluses went out of style along with the Blackberry, almost everyone is using their fingers to click around mobile sites. With this in mind, make sure that any call-to-action buttons are both obvious and large enough for people to click on with their fingers.
Cut to the Chase
Because mobile devices have smaller screens than desktops, make all of your text as short and sweet as possible. This is a good tip for websites in general, but it is especially crucial for mobile sites because too many words on a small screen can create a cramped feeling on the site.
