People expect information at the tap of a finger - if they don’t find what they’re looking for there, they’re moving on.
'Mobile Friendly Design', or ‘Responsive Design’ are terms used in the web world that mean your site adjusts to whatever size of screen it’s loading on, by adapting the elements to suit the space.
If your site isn’t mobile friendly, people are 5x more likely to leave.
The goal is a seamless, consistent experience wherever people are opening your page. Your customer on a tiny little phone will be able to find what they need with the same ease as the one on an oversized desktop computer.
A lot of websites in the agriculture industry are cluttered and do not work well on mobile phones. Slow load times, pinching and zooming, a confusing navigation, unclear messaging, a complicated purchase process - these points of friction all lose people.
