But, you can go farther if you want to stay on the cutting edge of web design. To help nudge you in the right direction, today we want to share three things that make a mobile-friendly website great:<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"user-content__title title title--h3\">#1 Speed<\/h3>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">Web pages that load quickly are a delight to mobile users. Sites that are slow are likely to be abandoned and ignored. Some marketers overlook this fact because there are so many high-speed connections available around the country. However, that won\u2019t help you if your site is the bottleneck that slows customers down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">Website speed is usually a function of two things: the design that has been put into place and the quality of your web hosting. Issues with either one can be resolved quickly and inexpensively, but only if you pay attention to the problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"user-content__title title title--h3\">#2 Simplicity<\/h3>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">Mobile users don\u2019t like complicated websites. Actually, you\u2019ll find very few types of searchers and customers who do, even if they are using traditional laptop or desktop computers. However, they are that much more frustrating when you\u2019re tapping with a finger on a small screen rather than using a mouse and full-sized monitor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">To achieve simplicity on your website, get good at organizing information in a logical fashion. Clean up your navigation menus and make sure each page has one clear message, point, and conversion goal. By streamlining your content in that way, you\u2019ll make your website much easier to use and appreciate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"user-content__title title title--h3\">#3 Usability<\/h3>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">Usability is a big topic in web design, but in this context it refers to the ease of interacting with your pages. In the same way that you want your navigation to be simple, finding resources or contacting your company should be straightforward, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">That means using images that are easy to zoom in on, avoiding long blocks of unbroken text, and creating forms that require minimal input. Keep those simple principles in mind and you\u2019ll avoid having a site that\u2019s a chore for mobile visitors to use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">The best part about these three features is that they don\u2019t only help you with mobile compatibility, but also with the general flow and value of your website as a whole. In other words, the more you integrate speed, simplicity, and usability into your web presence, the better you\u2019re going to do with customers of all stripes regardless of what type of screen or device they might be using.<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"user-content__title title title--h2\">Mobile First Web Design<\/h2>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"user-content__text text\">Wondering how you can put the latest mobile ideas and to use on your website, or just want to take your internet marketing to the next level?
