Your website on a phone: five checks in five minutes

Most visitors are on a phone

A salon or clinic client usually opens the site on a phone: in a queue, on the tram, on a break. A site that looks great on a desktop but is awkward on a phone loses leads, and you never see it happen.

Five checks

1. Speed. Open the site on mobile data, not Wi-Fi. If the main screen takes more than a few seconds, something is heavy: most often huge photos. They need compressing. 2. Text size. Can you read the main text without pinch-zooming? A good floor is 16 pixels. 3. Buttons. Can a thumb hit the booking button without touching its neighbour? Buttons should be large with room around them. 4. Phone and messenger. The number is tappable and starts a call; the WhatsApp or Telegram button opens a chat. 5. Sideways scroll. Swipe across the page. If it drifts left and right, some element is wider than the screen.

What gets fixed fastest

Compressing photos and enlarging buttons takes half an hour and gives the most visible result. If the site is old and doesn't adapt to screen size at all, rebuilding is easier than patching.
