Mobile experience

Mobile UX Checklist for Small Business Websites

Mobile isn't a secondary version of your site anymore — for most businesses, it's the primary experience most visitors actually have.

Tap targets sized for fingers, not cursors

Buttons and links sized for precise mouse clicks are often too small and too close together for a finger on a touchscreen — generously sized, well-spaced tap targets reduce mis-taps and frustration.

Content genuinely rebuilt for a single column

Real mobile design restructures content for a narrow screen, rather than simply shrinking a desktop layout — the difference is usually obvious to a visitor, even if they can't articulate why one feels better.

Fast load on mobile connections specifically

Testing only on fast office wifi hides real-world mobile performance. Testing under realistic mobile network conditions reveals problems that desktop-only testing simply won't catch.

Forms that are genuinely easy to complete on a phone

Appropriate input types (number pads for phone fields, email keyboards for email fields), minimal required fields, and large enough tap targets all matter disproportionately on mobile, where typing itself is more effortful.
