HOW DO I DECIDE?
All websites should be mobile – smartphones will overtake desktops
by next year.
What actions do they take on your site? What do you want them to do?
Think from your user’s point of view – what will give them the best
experience?
Complex requirements may be better served by an app.
How could a phone or tablet’s features enhance your offering?
MOBILE SEARCH AND ADS

For certain applications it will surpass desktop
