Businesses across the globe are making a mobile optimized experience for smartphone users a top priority. So should your business.
With mobile usage surpassing desktop and 25% of all searches being done from mobile devices, not optimizing for mobile users is like handing over a quarter of your possible customers to your competitors that have embraced the mobile marketplace.
Making contact and taking action are important features to take into consideration when planning out a mobile website. Many smartphone users are making spur of the minute decisions, such as where to eat or purchase an item by searching for reviews, price comparisons and product specifications from their mobile device.
