If you want to be relevant on the search engines, then your website must also be designed for mobile. More than 60% of all web traffic comes from mobile devices, mostly from a smartphone like the one in your pocket. If 60% of your readers and customers are important to you, then you will optimize your website for mobile.

A few of the best rated mobile website designs are from companies like Apple, Adobe, Disney, Lyft, and Dominos. Regardless of how you want your mobile design to look, you must make sure it’s set-up properly.

Below are two ways to optimize your website for mobile.

Responsive Design- A website’s images and text are shrunk to fit the different device sizes. Google currently recommends this method.

Pros: Faster development times, less maintenance, includes tablet screen sizes.

Cons: More expensive in the short term because of additional upfront work.

Adaptive Design- An adaptive design is like having two separate websites. One for desktop and one for mobile. Each is designed specifically for those devices.

Pros: Faster website, no need to redesign your desktop website, you can provide a link so the viewer can choose how they wish to see the site (mobile or desktop version).

Cons: Longer development times, more maintenance, not optimized for tablets.

If you have a WordPress site, then you also have the option to download AMP plugins to optimize your website. Each design has its advantages and disadvantages. OMA Comp can help you choose which option is best for your business based on your specific needs.

Don’t Lose Your Optimization!

The search engines newest changes include mobile first websites. This is a natural progression of the responsive mobile friendly websites that started a few years back. If you never updated your website or if your website is currently mobile friendly, how important is it that you have a mobile first site?

In October 2016, mobile traffic officially surpassed desktop traffic on the internet. If your site is not optimized for mobile, whether it doesn’t look right or if it’s not easy to navigate, you will lose customers that expect a better mobile experience.

Mobile friendliness also affects SEO. Google made the decision to crawl mobile version before desktop and also uses mobile as a key part of your ranking.

Every business is affected differently. To make an informed decision, review your analytics, benchmark your competition, and ask pertinent online experience questions to a focus group. If you need help to determine if a mobile first site is right for you or if you are ready to build a site that meets the new standards, contact OMA Comp today.
