Mobile friendly website design is important for any one these days. Since Google has changed it’s algorithm, they have to be mobile friendly in order to qualify to their criteria. Millions of searches each day are made on tablets & smart phones, so having a mobile friendly site is essential.
Since 2014, Google and the other search engines rank websites based on their mobile friendliness.
Some websites receive very little traffic from mobile devices however, mainly due to the behaviour of users.
Social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram receive a lot of mobile visitors due to the type of website they are.
Most children in the UK now have smartphones, and on average spend around 3 hours a day on social media.
