A website looks bad on mobile when it was designed for a desktop screen and never properly adapted, or when something on the page (a wide image, a table, a fixed-width box) is wider than the phone and pushes everything out of shape. Since most small business visitors are on phones, and Google judges sites by their mobile version, it's worth fixing.
The usual problems
- Page slides sideways: one element is wider than the screen.
- Tiny text you have to pinch: the page isn't set up for mobile screens.
- Menu won't open or hides behind other things.
- Buttons too small to tap, or too close together.
- Forms awkward to fill in: small fields and the wrong keyboard.
- Slow to load over mobile data.
How to check your site
Open it on your own phone and try what a customer would: read the home page, open the menu, find your phone number, fill in the contact form. Google's PageSpeed Insights also shows mobile problems.
Fix or rebuild?
Most sites can be fixed with changes to the theme and styles. Very old or heavily customised sites are often cheaper to rebuild than to patch.
We'll test it with you and fix it: make your website work on phones.
