Below are a few reasons that your so-called mobile website isn’t working on mobile devices.

You Can’t Be Found

Knoxweb explains the obvious number one reason that your so-called mobile website may not be working on mobile devices and that is because it is not mobile responsive. That means your webmaster didn’t resize your site proportionally to the various screen sizes. If you follow the Knoxweb blog, you will remember that Google started penalizing business and organization whose websites were not mobile friendly. Googlegeddon means that searches on mobile devices with a mobile responsive website will place higher in rank on the search engines.

Are you Mobile Responsive?

If the competition has a mobile responsive website, and your business doesn’t, your competitor will get the business because nobody can find you. A mobile responsive website acts like your PC website version, but looks the same on a mobile device. The code that is used has the ability to detect the device that is currently being used.

Slow to Load

It’s a fast pace world with most people having an attention span of about 3 seconds. If your website is slow to load, customers and potential clients will head to the competition. No one likes to wait for a website to load. People want the information immediately, and if your mobile website isn’t delivering it efficiently and effectively, you need to talk to Knoxweb. If your website looks great on a mobile device, but still takes forever to load, the user will probably go straight back to the search engine results.

Bad Navigation

Your website menu is crucial, if not the most important aspect of your mobile website. Smaller websites are simple with the menu on the desktop easily duplicated for a mobile device; however, businesses with a larger website may have problems as some menus display pages that have as many as third tier levels. If this is transposed to the mobile site, there is a very good chance that the users will have to spend too much time scrolling. Ask Knoxweb about amending the mobile menu so that it only includes your top pages. This may help you keep users on your website.

Avoid the Dreaded Overlays

Many mobile websites are using interstitials or overlays to promote their brands mobile app. These overlays are used for sales, special offers, and user signups. However, when the interstitials or overlays are displayed on a Smartphone or tablet, it can have a bad effect on user experience that can cause frustration and a lack of sales. Knoxweb recommends that you use a banner instead.
