2. How much mobile and tablet usage has
grown and estimates future usage
The majority of people have mobile phones and
devices and now spend more time doing Internet
searches from their phones and tablets
4 out of 5 consumers use smartphones to shop. If your
website isn’t designed to be easily accessible from a
mobile device, that is a lot of business you are missing
out on.

9. Recommendation
What I would recommend the business do to create a
better presence on mobile devices, is to create a
simple website, with a sleek design, and less text. This
way, people are more likely to stay on your webpage
and contact you, if they don’t have to sift through a lot
of text and maneuver around a huge space of a
website.
