Even if your website can be viewed on a mobile device, it does not mean that your site is ‘mobile friendly’. A ‘mobile friendly’ site should be designed specifically for smaller screens, allowing easy navigation via larger touch-screen buttons, and should only display relevant information and content for the users’ needs. Due to more effective and faster mobile networks, usage frequency has risen.
