Mobile friendly websites?
- Thread starter Kalpart
- Start date
The need for a mobile friendly website is becoming stronger with every passing year. The main balance is switching between dedicated mobile site versions to pure mobile friendly (responsive/fluid structure).
Now, with all this recent talk about Google and the penalties facing "some websites", it has clearly sent a lot of web developers into a tail spin. At the end of the day, it more than likely appears to be Google saying that they are going to penalise websites which are poorly written or so far out of date, they render BADLY!! on your average mobile device.
So, for now ... I wouldn't panic too much, if you have faith in the standard you code your websites to (with mobile compatibility in mind ... and validate as you go!).
All the best,

Yes Google has pushed down the rankings for non-mobile friendly websites. However, while making mobile sites, one has to to keep certain things in mind. People use mobiles for browsing because they want to save time. If a site takes too long to load, then there is no point of a mobile user visiting that site.

It's pretty easy to make your site mobile friendly.
I installed the plugin WPtouch by BraveNewCode. Works like a charm.
You can see it on my site http://www.scottsery.com. It has an option at the bottom to view the full mobile version or the desktop version.

Google has already introduced mobile friendly website tester https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools ... -friendly/ you should use this tool to check website regarding responsive.
It seems like that google is changing and you may get penalised a little bit if your website is not mobile friendly. You can read more about it in another thread: viewtopic.php?f=158&t=128477&p=1278110&
Google does push down your rankings if it's not mobile friendly, as I believe they show more mobile friendly results when searching.
Being mobile friendly is something that pretty much everyone is trying to do; simply because it's better for the user. They can surf the site on their phone without having to zoom in, and it's a pain trying to surf something not mobile friendly. It'd be like having something way too big for your computer screen, so you have to use the horizontal scroll bar just to browse. It's becoming the new standard of websites, everything is mobile nowadays. (It looks way better as well, mobile sites with responsiveness tend to look better than sites that are not built on the new standard.)
