How does your website stack up on the small screen?

Despite enormous growth in smartphone usage, many businesses are still operating a website that isn't optimised to fit on a small mobile screen or on a tablet. If your visitors can't navigate your site easily, there's a good chance they'll leave your site and go to a competitor that has a mobile optimised site (responsive design).

Google has a new site called GoMo, the site is aimed at ensuring that business websites are optimised for smartphone users and best possible user experience. View9 Technologies in Brisbane is also leading the way forward with mobile optimised designs for not only smartphones, but tablets and larger screens such as television browsers.
