Tips for designing mobile friendly websites

Over 80% of web traffic is mobile.

And here's the truth about people:

If your website looks unprofessional on mobile, customers will think your work is unprofessional too.

So if your website only looks good on desktop...

Congratulations, you’ve just ignored most of your audience online.

Want to get better?

Here are some tips for building a mobile-friendly site that can help convert visitors into leads.

---

1. Keep it simple

Mobile screens are small, so don’t cram everything in.

So use these:

✅ Use short headlines
✅ Clear CTAs
✅ Clean layouts with space to breathe

If visitors have to zoom in or scroll sideways, you're doing it wrong.

You're showing a website, not a map.

2. Prioritise speed

Mobile users are impatient.

Especially when there are hundreds of other competitor's website the users could visit as well.

If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, people loses interest or think your website is broken.

So do these:

✅ Optimise images
✅ Use lightweight themes
✅ Don’t overload with plugins or fancy animations

Time = money.

The more time you save for them, the more likely they'll be your customer.

3. Make buttons thumb-friendly

This may sound obvious but many still make this mistake.

Look, if people need a aim super accurately click a button to contact you, they would much rather click to exit your website instead.

So make sure:

✅ The buttons big enough for thumbs
✅ Plenty of spacing between clickable items
✅ The buttons actually works

No one likes fat-finger mistakes.

4. Design for vertical scrolling

Most people scroll with one hand, even the elderlies are getting used to using mobile phones.

So it's super important to:

✅ Stack content vertically
✅ Put the most important info first
✅ Keep navigation simple (hamburger menus work fine)

Don’t make users swipe left or right to find the information they're looking for.

5. Test on real devices

Believe me, I've made this countless mistake as well...

Your site might look perfect on your computer’s developer tools.

But try it on an actual phone, then only you’ll see the truth.

✅ Test on iOS and Android
✅ Different screen sizes
✅ Different browsers

Test every page, and on any devices you test on.

What works on one device might look broken on another, same goes for website pages.

6. Most important: Don’t forget SEO

Mobile-friendly is Google-friendly.

If you've followed all the tips so far, here's something rewarding to know...

Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning they rank your site based on the mobile version.

So websites with these rank well:

✅ Mobile speed
✅ Responsive design
✅ Properly structured content

If your mobile site sucks, your SEO suffers too, and your website won't be shown as often to people searching for your services.
