- #6 Talking PointsPeople need to be able to easily get information about your firm and the services that you offer, and seamlessly connect with you, all from their smartphone or tablet using an experience designed for that device. Don’t be a mobile frenemy. All mobile sites are not created equal. A poorly designed mobile experience will cost you business. People are looking to buy from mobile-friendly businesses. Make it easy for them.People use different devices for different reasons. It’s important that you optimize your mobile experience to take advantage of what people are using mobile devices for.Harris Poll found these top uses for smartphones, tablets and computers:Smartphones: 89% stay engaged,82% research and news,75% navigate/directionsTablets: 78% research and news,74% stay engaged,61% social networkingComputers: 84% read email,81% research and news,69% social networkingData Sources5:TRiG, March 20126: Google 7:KarimTemsamani at IABALM 2012 via IAB8:Google 9:Sterling Brands and SmithGeiger study 2012

- #8 Talking PointsSo now that we agree that this is important, what does it mean to be “mobile friendly” or “mobile optimized”? It’s easier to start by looking at what it is NOT.Your site shrunk down to fit on a mobile screen is not mobile friendly. Even the big boys miss this. LinkedIn’s website in a perfect example of how to not be mobile friendly.And sometimes a poorly designed mobile experience can be just as bad. Using tiny text links instead of large, easy to tap buttons, is a fatal mistake on a mobile design. Design for the device and how it is uses (e.g. touchscreen instead of a mouse).Long profile sites with paragraphs of text are not useful.
