websites.
1. What is a mobile-friendly or responsive website?
A website that is easy to open over your mobile and the entire layout is always
clearly visible.
The
website is designed as per the user's need over mobile and how good the website
is seen on mobile.
All
the images and font will clearly visible and the layout remains the same.
2. Benefits of making a mobile-friendly website.

· Page loading time is less.
· Best user experience towards your site and
bounce rate also decreases.

3. 7 simple steps to make your website mobile-friendly.
1. Optimize your images and CSS- Try to fully optimize your images and CSS used
inside your post in the blog. Most of the bloggers are having so many images
and videos are there to interact with the users.
But
it also increased your page loading time and due to this a user is unable to
see properly your blog on his mobile.
Due
to this slow response time, customers get irritated and immediately get back
from your site.
2. Make
your website responsive in nature- This is a very important point for all of the bloggers who are
running their blog.
A responsive website
will be always easy to open on mobiles and it is the main reason why a user
should read your content on mobile.
3. Layout
should be simple and clean-The layout means the theme and the way you
organize your menus, ads, and whatever you have seen over your blog page.
If you have a simple layout,
then the user should easy to understand on its mobile and then he loves to read
the content.
Sometimes we just putting so many ads and popup ads as well and these are very irritating for the mobile users to get interrupted while he is reading out your blog.
4. Always
focus on large Font size-As you know when a user read a topic in his
mobile with a small screen instead of a laptop with the bigger screen.
Pls always use bigger
font so it’s clearly readable for all and the user will easily read out what
you actually had written inside your post.
As per my suggestion,
you should use around 16 sizes of your font for a better experience for users.
5. Provide a way to switch to desktop mode as well- Most of the mobile
users will love to read the blog in desktop view by their mobile as well.
You will always have an
option for that, so when a user wants to read out the content in desktop mode,
then he will be able to switch instantly.
6. Avoid using flash in your website/blogs- We always love to see animation effects over a website.
This is very useful tips to attract user by having
animations on your site.
But it is
usually not supported over your mobile devices and result slow down your site.
Finally user
get frustrated and its bounce back to another site so after this your website
bounce rate will also increase, and this is not good if you are new to blogging
carrier.
7. Boost up your website speed- You may sometimes only focus on your
content and about the images you posted in your blog.
But you
forget about the page loading time, how much time your website/blog takes to
open for the users.
Try to use
images of less size with a good format like png, jpeg only.
Make sure that
your site doesn’t have any extra CSS, if have then you should automatically
remove first.
Your website
will always going to be smooth and should open as quick as possible for the
users to easily handle over mobile.
4. How to check whether your site is responsive or not?
There are so
many tools over online to check this but we have also a free and simple option
to check.
You can go
for screenfly.org website to check in all
formats by doing a few steps.
First, you need to open this site by given link
or manually and then just paste your site link over there and hit enter.
Now it shows so many options for the users to check how actually their site is looking in all gadgets like tv, laptop, tablet and etc
Now another simple option is there
for all the users is.

need to open your website and just resize its size by pressing ctrl + and ctr –
as well.

how the layout is, it is not proper to read than your site is not responsive
and if it is then your site is responsive and all the layouts remain the same but
small in size while reducing the size.
