It\u2019s #Mobilegeddon! Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s not the end of the world. It\u2019s just a sign of the times. More people are searching for your business on mobile devices than ever before, so shouldn\u2019t your website work on phones and tablets?<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what Google is saying, at least. This week, Google officially changed their algorithms to rank mobile-friendly websites higher than those that don\u2019t change for phones and tablets. If your\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0is designed to adjust for mobile users, your business will be more easily seen by customers who are searching for people like you. But having a mobile site was important long before Google made this decision. Do you have an\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0account for your business? If customers are looking at your Instagram profile, you can bet they\u2019re on a mobile device. So if they look for a link to your website, they\u2019ll be seeing that from a mobile device as well. Shouldn\u2019t your website adapt to their different needs?<\/p>\n So what is mobile usability?<\/p>\n 1. The defined viewing area of your website should adjust to the fit of any mobile screen.<\/p>\n 2. Content from each page should fit to the width of the screen so you don\u2019t have to zoom in or out.<\/p>\n 3. Fonts should scale for easy reading on small screens.<\/p>\n 4. Large buttons that are well spaced out for easy clicking is essential.<\/p>\n 5. The mobile site should have the same overall visual design and motion of the regular website.<\/p>\n With this new algorithm, many businesses will be in a hurry to adjust their websites to remain relevant on Google. Thankfully, adapting your design to work for smartphones and tablets is easy and doable and we’re here to\u00a0help<\/a>.<\/p>\n If your Morehead City business or organization needs a mobile-friendly website design or if you would like details on how to get higher in the search engine rankings,\u00a0contact Bellagurl<\/a>.
