Another recent study by Google and AnswerLab sought to answer the question “What makes a good mobile site?” Their key takeaway was:
“Mobile users are very goal-oriented. They expect to be able to get what they need, immediately, and on their own terms.”
Take a minute to try purchasing a product on your website as if you were a customer.
- Is your navigation easy to click through and the links large enough for your fingers?
- Do your pages load in 2-3 seconds?
- Can you access all your products?
- Can you read the text?
- Can you proceed through the checkout with speed and ease?
- Are the pictures large enough to see the detail you need?
- Do you include all the information about the product that a customer needs to know before purchasing?
- Does your site have an SSL connection, or common Security features and badges to reassure your customers that their personal and financial information is safe?
