2. Do
you
want
your
website
to
stand
out
on
mobile
devices,
but
aren’t
sure
if
it
is
the
right
move?

3. Do
you
think
mobile
or
tablet
usage
isn’t
important
for
your
website
or
business?

4. Here
is
why
you
should
update
your
site,
or
make
it
better
for
mobile
device
access,
aside
from
it
being
the
fastest
growing
segment
of
the
web.
I
will
be
showing
you
a
series
of
slides,
with
information
and
visuals
on
comparing
desktop
and
mobile
sites.
You
will
>ind
that
the
process
has
somewhat
>lipped
over
the
past
few
years
and
you
may
be
falling
behind.

5. (http://mashable.com/2011/08/05/mobile-‐design-‐priority/)
The
game
has
changed,
simple
as
that.
Companies
these
days
need
to
focus
on
mobile
>irst
instead
of
mobile
friendly.
Desktop
or
laptop
users
typically
are
multitasking
during
work.
Smartphone
users
are
transaction-‐oriented.
They
do
not
want
to
be
overloaded
with
content
while
they
are
trying
to
achieve
a
goal.
Typically
they
have
an
objective
and
leave
once
it
is
completed.
In
designing
the
site
for
mobile
users,
you
will
want
to
use
the
“less
is
more”
approach.
Simple,
and
quick
page
loads
are
essential.

6. Here
are
some
quick
and
easy
tips
that
can
get
your
site
on
the
right
track.
1.
Style
for
mobile
–
Stick
to
relative
units.
Maintain
visual
consistency
with
the
desktop
site.
Minimize
scrolling
and
page
transitions.
(http://www.sitepoint.com/7-‐tips-‐to-‐make-‐your-‐web-‐site-‐mobile-‐friendly/)
2.
Resize
your
images
–
small
screens
call
for
small
images.
A
good
strategy
is
to
resize
them
on
the
web
server
so
they
take
90%
less
time
to
load.

7. 3.
Automatically
detect
mobile
devices
using
servers
and
databases
to
detect
what
device
has
accessed
the
site.
(http://www.sitepoint.com/7-‐tips-‐to-‐make-‐your-‐web-‐site-‐mobile-‐friendly/)
If
we
use
these
tips
and
you
will
be
well
on
your
way.
5.
Provide
a
clear
path
to
your
full
site
and
don’t
break
any
links.
4.
Rethink
your
navigation
to
mobile
priority
content.

8. This
is
an
example
of
a
website
that
does
not
work
very
well
on
the
mobile
platform.
If
you
take
a
look
at
it
you
will
see
some
issues
covering
topics
we
have
already
saw
here.

9. This
is
a
website
that
works
extraordinarily
well
with
the
mobile
platform.
I
would
recommend
using
this
site
as
a
guide
or
at
least
a
reference
to
anyone
looking
to
make
the
step
into
the
mobile
design
world.

10. More
often
than
not,
the
mobile
experience
for
a
web
product
is
designed
after
the
desktop
version.
It’s
time
to
reverse
that
approach
and
design
for
mobile
>irst
says
Luke
Wroblewski.
Things
have
changed
so
much
over
the
past
few
years
that
starting
with
the
desktop
design
may
just
be
the
backwards
way
to
think.
It’s
thought
that
designing
for
mobile
>irst
could
open
up
tons
of
new
opportunity
for
growth
and
a
better
user
experience.
Mobile
devices
are
getting
used
more
and
more
for
many
applications
and
purposes.

11. Concerned
about
less
screen
space?
No
need
for
that
either,
losing
that
much
screen
space
from
the
desktop
to
the
mobile
device
forces
teams
to
focus.
You
just
need
to
know
your
customers
and
your
business
and
focus
on
what
matters
most.
Take
a
look
at
the
expedia.com
pics
below
showing
the
mobile
vs
the
desktop.
The
mobile
version
focuses
directly
on
the
information
you
need.

12. I
hope
you
will
consider
making
an
effort
to
switch
your
site
to
mobile
friendly
and
operable.
I
touched
on
a
few
advantages
here,
but
there
is
so
much
more
to
show
and
learn
about
this
technology.
Mobile
design
is
the
future
and
is
only
going
to
continue
to
progress.
It
has
changed
drastically
over
the
past
few
years
as
I
stated
at
the
beginning
and
in
a
few
more
years,
who
knows
where
it
will
be.
Will
you
be
up-‐to-‐date
or
will
you
be
left
behind?
