Photographers: How Does Your Site Look on Mobile Devices?

My portrait shoot in San Francisco for Integrating Beauty, ala iPhone.

Once again, Zach Prez rocked it in his latest email newsletter. This issue’s topic: what does your website look like to people viewing it on a mobile device like an iPhone or iPad?

Why should you care? Well, here’s some interesting statistics:

• More kids know how to use a smart phone than know how to tie their shoes.
• 29 million U.S. households no longer have a land line.
• More Americans own a mobile phone than a passport.
• 46% of US consumers own a smartphone and 20% own a tablet.

When assessing the mobile-friendliness of your website, here are some things to consider:
• Do you see broken images or missing content?
• Can you read the text without zooming or scrolling side to side
• Can links and buttons be clicked with a thumb?
• Is your location and phone number visible?
• Can the phone number be clicked to initiate a call?
• How long does your site take to load? (Under 5 seconds is best.)

If you want to know what your website looks like on a mobile phone, check out GoMoMeter. And, to see what it looks like on the iPad, check out iPad Peek.
