What makes a website mobile friendly?
From the outset when designing your website, you want it to look attractive on desktops, tablets and mobiles. Internet users use many different phones, desktops (Mac v PC) and tablets when surfing the internet. Your website layout should also be tested across the range of devices to ensure compatibility.
A modern website layout needs to be usable across the different platforms, not only usable but functional as well. Users need to be able to enter data using onscreen keyboards, watch videos etc, on whatever device they choose to use.
Note: Be careful when using pop ups on your website as many do not interact well with mobile devices.
A responsive website automatically adjusts the layout to the the device being used. This enhances the user experience by adjusting pictures so they remain proportional, adjusting the font size, and wrapping the text around the screen.
