Designing and building a website these days is not just about having a visual website presence. Today’s business owners should be asking, “how should I invest in mobile?” This will make or break a business in 2017/2018.
53% of people will leave a mobile website if they get a bad experience. Websites today need to be adjusted for the customer on their mobile and made responsive. Your website designer should work with you in deciding which information provided by a website on a PC is not needed by customers quickly scanning for information on a mobile phone.
