Over 58% of the UK's population now own a smart phone. Amongst UK tablet owners, 66% have used their device to buy online. These stats are rising every day and there's no sign of the mobile revolution slowing down. In fact, worldwide there's already supposed to be more mobile devices than people.
Making sure your website looks great and functions well on whatever screen the visitor is using, is now essential, whether that's a tablet, smart phone, iOS device or Android phone.

Getting mobile-ready isn't just about having a functional, responsive website, it's about ensuring you're offering a great user experience, whatever device is being used. A website not friendly for mobiles these days will suffer a horrendous bounce rate.
There are a number of factors to consider, from loading times to font sizes, to understanding which bits of your website visitors may want to access when they're on the run, mobile responsiveness means thinking carefully about every aspect of a visitor's mobile experience. Aiming to ensure:
Images with heavy loading times are kept to a minimum, keeping visitors' data costs low and speeding up their mobile experience – in fact, we won't show some images to mobile visitors, and others we will provide them with a smaller image, with a much lower file size.
Our current websites are hand built to adjust to any screen size. No need for your potential customers to spend precious time zooming in, zooming out and painstakingly navigating a page.
Navigational links are clear, key information is as accessible as possible via mobile.
Industry insiders have been shouting about the changing face of online retail for years now, but the figures have only recently started to speak for themselves. If you're not accessible via smartphone or tablet, you're missing out on an increasingly valuable revenue stream. It's time to future-proof your website. You could ignore this when only 3% of your traffic was on a mobile device, but no longer, not when it might be 50% of your traffic.
