Welcome to Random Thoughts! I like to provide my online visitors with advice and news on the online world and things to do that are both free and safe. Today I would like to introduce you to the term, “Mobile-Friendly Website”, and how to test if your website is in fact, “Mobile-Friendly”.
Mobile friendly websites refer to websites that appear on mobile devices clearly, concisely, with no need to scroll side to side in order to see the entire page. Mobile-friendly websites are more in demand since the number of people with smartphones increases every day.
Website owners can either create website content from scratch or use an existing software package from a company like WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla, which can provide a theme, design, and templates. Google provides this link to Customize Your Website Software.
Not everyone is able to create their own template. Of course, it is much easier to use a pre-existing template or theme than to create one from scratch. If you have a WordPress based website, and want your website to be mobile friendly, WordPress actually offers Mobile WordPress Themes to use for no cost. There are a variety of mobile-friendly WordPress themes, so going mobile without having to create a template from scratch can still be easy while providing options.
To see if your website is mobile-friendly, use this Mobile-Friendly Test website provided by Google.
