It’s become urgent!
As more people use smartphones over desktop computers, NOW is the time to have a mobile-friendly website.
Especially if you still haven’t converted your site since Google’s Mobilegeddon. (You can run this Google test to check if your site is mobile friendly.)
Optimising your website for mobile devices isn’t just a trend. It’s not a nice-to-have feature but a need-to-have capability.
Because more people are mobile nowadays - including investors. They communicate and find information on their phones or tablets. It’s become quicker and handier than laptops or desktops.
This gives enough motivation for ASX-listed companies to embrace mobile technology. To adapt to this demand and become web savvy.
Consider these 3 reasons why you need to move to a mobile-friendly site:
1. To increase investor interest
With a mobile-friendly site, investors will spend more time on your website. That’s because your pages would look great and your links would run smoothly.
Investors struggle with sites that are not tailored for mobile devices. Since they’re harder to navigate, they get turned off and exit the site not long after.
2. To attract more new investors
Your overall traffic will increase with a mobile-optimised site. More potential investors looking for investment opportunities will find you on Google search.
Because Google gives higher search ranking to mobile-friendly sites. Conversely, desktop-only sites would rank nearer the bottom compared to those designed for mobile use.
3. To show investors that you care
If existing investors see you don’t care about their viewing experience, they may assume you don’t care about the rest of their investment experience.

To put it plainly

It will also show stakeholders that you care enough to give them a great user experience on your web pages.
