  challenge is to adapt to the needs of your target
  audience. When in doubt, always accommodate the
  needs of your potential customers.

  point is to make sure that all users (no matter
  the device) get identical information from your
  website.

  time while waiting in line or in search for
  specific information, they need answers and they
  need them as quickly as possible.

  to provide them with those answers with a few
  simple clicks.

• Several years ago, Flash fell out of favor in the
  eyes of search engine algorithms. Not only can it
  significantly slow down website speed, but there
  are devices where it fails to perform altogether.
• Another crucial fact to consider here is that
  neither Android or iOS devices support Flash.

• This is the simplest way to check just how your
  website will look on mobile phones and other
  devices. If the page in question opens up as the
  same width on the screen of your phone as it does
  on your desktop, then something is not right.

  browsers to fit the width of your page to the
  scree of the device in question.

forms

  and energy (especially mobile phone users) is

  means a lot to the overall user experience of for
  your website.

  phone trying to push autosuggestion on to them,
  they will be able to type in the information as
  they see fit.

  filling out the form, or making any mistakes
  while doing so. To make this modification

• Small buttons are frustrating and nobody likes
  having to deal with them. Having a mouse is all
  nice and great, but what happens when you dont
  have one nearby?

  endlessly, why not take this potential problem
  out of the equation completely.

  your website for mobile phone users. And take the
  time to test any new buttons that you add on your
  inner pages.

  for most people, but having to do so with a tiny
  font is close to impossible.

  to stick to standards fonts.

  slow down page loading speed and draw attention
  from the message you wish to convey.

  speed of your website.

  to mobile phone users, where patience is in high
  demands and short supply.

  mobile version of your website is to compress
  anything that normally takes up a lot of space.

  is to offer them as much flexibility as possible.

  switch to the desktop version of your website is
  always a good step to take.

  interact with your website in a way that makes
  the most sense for them.

  Internet access from mobile devices, we started
  an avalanche.

  decade, each year bigger and bigger.

  mobile internet usage surpassed that of desktop
  usage.

  adapting to the newly found needs of potential
  clients.

  in-house or 3rd party web development team and
