Make your website smartphone friendly today
The majority of the websites were built before the arrival of smartphones, and by using a simple online website evaluator software we find out that they don’t render properly on mobile devices.
Optimizing your website for mobile viewing can be done by inserting some simple code into your website’s HTML header. You’ll need to add code for mobile css, which allows your website to change the way it is organized and displayed on smartphones. You’ll need to add a meta viewport tag, which tells a mobile device how to orient a page when loading, and last add iPhone and iPad icons, which allow users to add a quick link to their desktop for easy access. Be smart about the choice of your icons as they will represnt your brand and can aid your marketing.
