Mobile-Friendly
In this blog, we have compiled a list of 5 common
mistakes that makes a site mobile-unfriendly. If
you have a professional website that isnt
getting a lot of traffic from smaller screen
devices, this blog is especially for you. Before

• With that finished, now its time to jump right
  into the core matter of this content. Lets
  begin with the introduction part.
• Introduction
• Its already out everywhere that mobile users
  have outgrown desktop users in terms of traffic.
  Whats more, it is still on the rise and looks
  like it wont drop anytime soon. Having an edge
  over other internet-enabled devices in terms of
  portability ease, mobile phones are highly used
  by people to surf the internet. And this is the
  reason that Google has also prioritized
  mobile-friendly websites in its search results.
  That means if you aim that your site receives
  heavy traffic, you will have to optimize it for
  smartphones essentially.
• Of course, many of you have already made your
  site compatible with mobile phones but thats
  not all you need to do. Apart from ensuring that
  the theme of your site is responsive, you also
  need to make sure that other elements on your
  site function responsively.
• For instance
• Youtube videos
• Opt-in forms
• Social sharing buttons

3

• Navigation bars
• Logo and brand name
• These are some of the elements that dont work
  perfectly on small screens if a site isnt fully
  mobile-friendly. To be specific the height and
  width of youtube videos and opt-in forms occupy
  most space on mobile screens that lead to users
  frustration. They are not able to view your
  content properly and in annoyance, they leave
  your site to go to more mobile-friendly ones.
  This results in a higher bounce rate and poor
  brand reputation that could cost you
  conversions. And Im 100 sure, you dont want to
  deliver this type of user experience to your
  visitors.
• So, today Ill let you know what are the most
  common mistakes that make your site
  mobile-unfriendly.
• Lets get started.
• Top 5 Mistakes In Mobile-Responsive Websites
• 1. Not Paying Attention To The Main Content
• Yes, its completely true! Most of the time when
  people create a site they overlook the core
  content in pursuit to give it a unique design.
  They should keep in mind that people come to
  their site to find some sort of information to
  accomplish a task, not to see your logo design,
  navigation bars, or button appeal. Of course,
  they are important to enhance the look of your
  site but that matters more on desktop rather than
  mobile phones.
• Be mindful, if any of your design elements will
  restrict your users ability to read your
  content on mobile phones, they are more likely to
  abandon your page and move to your competitors.
  So, take note of this thing when you design your
  site next time.

Not Using Good Social Sharing Plugins Its true
that plugins add features and improve the
functionality of our site to a great extent. But
it also cant be denied that not all plugins are
good for your website, at least mobile-friendly
sites. The point Im trying to make here is that
there are various websites running over the
internet not having user-friendly design for
mobile visitors. When you visit some of those
sites through your mobile phone, you will notice
that they have deployed floating social sharing
buttons on their page. And when you will start
scrolling down the page to read their content
that floating button wont move at all and stick
to its position. Now suppose that the site you
are visiting has its content overlaid to the
extreme sides of the screen. In that case, the
availability of those floating social sharing
buttons on the side of the screen may hamper
your reading experience and you might consider
leaving the page. The same thing happens with
visitors as well, and when they are not able to
read the whole content nicely, they simply hit
the back button in their browser. An easy way to
resolve this issue is to disable floating buttons
on handheld devices or use Social Warfare plugin
to resize or remove those buttons. Do you want
to redesign your site prioritizing your mobile
users? The experts of our Los Angeles web design
company can help you build a truly
5

• user-centric site, especially for them. All you
  need to do is make a list of design elements
  that you want to see on your site and then they
  will put it together without affecting your
  readers experience.
• Not Embedding Responsive Videos
• There are many ways to convey information to
  online users. Images, infographics, videos, and
  text are the available options for us. Since most
  of them can be easily optimized for smaller
  screen devices, its the YouTube videos that
  affect the content consumption-ability of
  visitors.
• Now you may ask how can you say that, right?
• The defined height and width may take up the
  whole space of a mobile-phones screen making it
  difficult for users to view other parts of the
  content. Even worse, think about the mobile
  phones experience of which screen size is
  lesser than 560 pixels.
• The case with infographics usage is no different
  as well. Therefore, its important for you to
  check out height and width attributes in any
  embed codes you get. In case you want to make
  all the objects in your blog post responsive,
  look for suitable codes online that serve the
  purpose.
• If you are not able to make your blog post and
  its components fully responsive, be sure to get
  hold of our web design company in Los Angeles.
  Once your project is accepted by our design and
  development team, they will enable your blog to
  open properly on any device including mobiles,
  tablets, and iPads. And then you will see users
  interaction on your site is increasing which is
  resulting in more conversions.
• Not Using Responsive Pop-ups

6
Pop-ups are one of the great ways to capture your
visitors information and grow your email list.
But let me tell you that not all pop-ups designed
for visitors are actually easily viewable on
different screen sizes. Generally, pop-ups are
designed keeping desktop users in mind and that
creates problems when the same pop-up is viewed
on mobiles. It appears so big on smaller screens
that hardly any space is left to see other
components of your blogs. So, whats the
solution? Just make it responsive and then test
whether it actually displays properly on mobile
phones or not. Now why Im saying this is
because sometimes your pop-ups may appear too
small on mobile phones screens that could
create another problem when looking at
it. Therefore, you should do either of two
things - consider disabling pop-ups on small
screens or test them to find out whether they
render well on mobiles screen. Thrive Leads and
Bloom are some of the best plugins available to
get mobile-responsive opt-in forms or pop-ups for
your blogs. 5. Not Having Fast Load Time Slower
sites often receive less traffic than
fast-loading ones. And probably you know it well
because Google has already announced that they
like websites that load in the first few
seconds. This experience is important for
desktop users but even more important for mobile
users. Now, you may ask why are you saying
so? See mobile users always tend to be in a
hurry so they want to grab the information they
are looking for as soon as possible. In that
case, you need to primarily focus on the content
of your website instead of other design
elements. This will ensure that your website
feels lightweight and it loads fast. In case
this doesnt happen, chances are high they will
abandon your page and switch to other
fast-loading websites.

We recommend looking for ways on the internet to
speed up your WordPress website and then
implement it at earliest. Additionally, you can
also use a caching plugin to accelerate the
loading speed of your site. Summing It All
Up These days most of the websites receive high
traffic from mobile devices and yours would not
be an exception probably. So, its now more
important than ever to properly optimize your
website for mobile phones else you will miss out
on multiple business opportunities. This is
mostly true for B2C sites since they are
designed to keep individual customers in mind
rather than an agency or company. Some of the
tools you can use to test the mobile-friendliness
of your site are Googles Mobile-Friendly Test,
Screenfly, and MobileTest.me. Dont forget user
experience matters when it comes to conversions,
so make sure your site delivers it very very
positively. Do you have any questions about how

Wordpress developer experts of our Los Angeles
