The convenience of mobile web browsing is fast outweighing firing up your desktop computer or setting up your laptop to find your local tradesman or to book a last minute flight, but the likelihood of a person making a purchase from a website that isn’t mobile responsive is drastically reduced by the fact that it’s difficult if not near impossible to read and navigate around.
Whether your target market is global, nationwide or local, you could already be losing potential custom by the minute if people aren’t seeing your business’ full potential via their mobile, by not delivering an optimal viewing experience. 1 in 3 mobile searches are in fact for local amenities, so even the one-man local bands should get on board the mobile revolution.
A massive implication related to this, which has been under-reported recently in the media, is that Google are penalising non-responsive websites. This means if you currently rank well in search engines expect to see a fall in presence if your site isn’t tailored accordingly.
