Millions of people use the internet every day; most are
It’s a platform used for advertising websites, products,
and services; why wouldn’t they?
Mobile devices are a major tool for accessing the internet on the go.
As a matter of fact, I’m composing this article with my mobile phone
on Google Docs and you’re probably reading this article from your phone,
well, except you’re comfy and on your laptop 😂.
If your website isn’t optimized for mobile users,
you’re likely losing a significant portion of your audience,
and you don’t want that for your business.
The problem is;
everyone tells you to optimize your website but no one shows you how to do it.
At Pimebrains we care for our community and deliver top notch services,
therefore this articles purpose is to enable the digital community,
create website’s optimized for mobile phones.
So, back to the big question.
How can you make sure your website is optimized for mobile users?
Here are five simple steps to get you started:
1. A Responsive Design is a Must:
A responsive design automatically adjusts the layout of your website to,
fit any screen size.
This means; smartphone, tablet, or desktop.
- .Flexible Images and Media: Ensure images, videos, and other media scale according to screen size by using relative units (e.g., max-width: 100%).
- Responsive Typography: Set font sizes using responsive units like "em" or "rem" to scale appropriately across devices.
- Implement Media Queries: Use CSS media queries to apply different styling rules depending on the screen size (e.g., breakpoints for mobile, tablet, and desktop).
2. Optimize Page Load Speed
If your site takes more than a few seconds to load,
visitors will likely leave. Here's what you need to do:
- Compress images
- Minimize CSS and JavaScript files
- Enable browser caching
3. Simplify Navigation
Mobile users don’t have large screens.
Keep navigation simple with clear, easy-to-click buttons and menus.
It's a simple as that people.
4. Use Mobile-Friendly Fonts and Content
Readable text is key.
Choose fonts that are easy to read on small screens,
and ensure that your text is large enough to avoid zooming in.
Also, keep paragraphs short, use bullet points,
and break up content, with headers.
Try this, you would be surprised.
5. Test, Test, Test
How many times was your name called?
It’s repetitive and never ending like your mothers errands.
No optimisation process is complete without testing.
Use tools like;
Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test to see how your website performs on mobile devices.
Regularly check your site’s responsiveness,
Ask Temi, Ngozi, Tokony and even kadiga to check out your website and leave a feedback,
what are freinds for?
