Having a website is a high priority for many businesses now and it not just for the big players. More and more companies are realising that to compete in the world of online retail (which is growing year upon year) they need to have a good solid presence online.

Having a mobile friendly website is not just vital to ensure your viewers can easily navigate round you site but can also help boost rankings. Just over three years ago now, Google announced that they were rolling out an update to their algorithm. This update was going to check if a website was mobile friendly or not. This would be used as part of the method of ranking websites on the search engine and choosing which site appears above another. With more and more people using mobile devices to browse websites and make purchases, it makes sense that companies that offer a good user experience on these platforms rank well on the search engines such as Google.

Google offer a web site checker which will determine if your website is mobile friendly and if not, will tell you what you need to do to correct it.
