How Mobile Friendly Is YOUR Site?

      chi-tn.comLet's face it folks, today mobile sites rule. If your site is not mobile friendly, folks searching for your product or services will move on leaving you, your site and services in a cloud of digital dust.
     The definition of mobile friendly is simple. If you have to pinch the screen to read it, it is not mobile friendly. If you cannot read it, neither can your customer.
     There are several solutions to this. The simplest solution would be to engage the services of a second party vendor that will design a mobile site based on your site. A plug-in is installed on your main site that will detect mobile signatures. Your mobile friendly site now shows on the smart phone.
     A friend of mine, Jim@pmcmobilesolutions.com can help you with your mobile needs. To see if your site is mobile friendly, check out his site -- pmcmobilesolutions.com. You can reach him at 615.969.0520.

I would have thought my site is already mobile friendly.  I actually installed the app of my site on my phone and it looks fine.  What more could another party do for me, or do I already have it?

Good morning, Jay. You are up early. It is surprising how may folks do not have mobile friendly sites. Kudos to you as you are ahead of the class!!!

My website is very mobile friendly and my property signs have QR codes and I get inquiries on my smartyphone....

 I just looked at a property on my smart phone and the photos would not load properly...I believe that it is important to have a mobile site

I do have a WP plug in for it. Nonetheless, my site is much slower on mobile, so there is some work to be done there.

Good morning, Wallace - QR is my next trick...

Paddy - Yikes! I hate when that happens...

Debbie - I too have the WP plug-in for my site. There are many sites that are not driven by WP tho...

Morning Michael never have given it a thought but now with all that is going on I've been given something else to think about.  Getting (am there) too old to think about things

Technology will....and does travel !  Keeping up with it is where it gets challenging and is more and more the requirement.

So important Michael...most work on IOS and then not on Android...ARers need to test theirs out on both platforms to see...although i have a plug in for WP for my idx it only satisfies the ios users now and i have someone working on a new platform for me....nice share.
