Optimizing Mobile Website


As we know that coming ERA is of Mobile world that is everything what you can serve to people on single click, at any location with user specific information than you can serve this mobile world or I can say make yourself stable in Mobile web design and application development industry.

 Few points which I analyzed while surfing many of Mobile site and understanding what actually user want to look in your mobile site –
  • Content specific Information – mobile user need content specific information that they don’t need long description explaining every single aspect and details about your product as they would be surfing from any middle place of market so they just need small description about product and its usability or how much far from particular location.
  •  No technical details – No technical details about your services and product should be specified.
  • No Advertisement – No big advertisement should be added on your landing page which could destruct your user from surfing your site.
  • Alt tag – Do add alternative tag for all images as many of user may block images to download site on low bandwidth, so if text are added to your images it would add positive point to serve your site.
  • Make your site user friendly that is user can easily understand what all things you want to convey through your site.
  • Testing – Do test site on different operating system i.e. Android, Mac OS, Windows etc.
  • Resolution – Liquid resolution add plus point to mobile website as it may fit to different screen size of different devices.
  • No JavaScript and Flash – to make your site workable on different devices and interface avoid use of JavaScript and flash as both interfaces are mostly not supported in many of devices, to give effect to your site and make it look more express able try to give effects via   CSS or use HTML5 in place of Flash.
  • Meta tag and Title – Both things have same importance as your desktop preferred site has as if user search via Google mobile application of course site as good and best in interface to mobile will be preferred more.
  •  URL optimization – Use keyword specific URL
