Do you need a Mobile First Website Design?

Yes you need a mobile first design. Here is why:

This article isn’t written for web designers, but for you, the business owner, to help you understand what type of website you need and why.

“Yes, your site will be mobile friendly.”

Any good web designer will tell you that. But your next question as a business owner should be, “Do you design mobile first and should my site be designed mobile first or not?”

Getting this question answered correctly can increase revenue. Getting it wrong can leave money on the table because of the less than optimal experience visitors
will have on your website.

The biggest issue with websites not built mobile first is they load too slow on smartphones. With todays user enviornment, if your site takes longer than 3 seconds to load your visitor leaves your site. This causes your bounce rate to jump and your rankings to go down.
