Is Your Website Mobile-Friendly? 3 Reasons Why It Should Be
There are many reasons why your website must be ‘mobile-friendly’ but we have identified 3 that we believe are the most important.
No. 1 – Consistency Of Message
The last thing you want is for your customers on smaller devices to feel less appreciated as compared to their desktop counterparts. With responsive web design, you can always maintain a consistent brand across multiple platforms.
A responsive website is inherently designed to look pretty much the same on all devices. Your website’s images and content simply scale down or shift around to make them look and elements look essentially the same.
No. 2 – More People Now ‘Browse’ On Mobile Devices
Online shopping is all the rage as it is much easier than driving all the way to your local shop. People are even opting to shop on their phones while they’re watching TV on their favourite couch. Currently, more than 52% of all website traffic is from mobile devices*.
By focusing on a site that’s more responsive on multiple platforms; you’ll see a great return on investment from your website. In the long run, a responsive design translates leads, which are increasingly coming from mobile devices, into actual sales.
No. 3 – Additional SEO Benefits Available
Search engines recommend responsive development for mobile website design and favour mobile-friendliness in their search engine result page (SERP) rankings.
Responsive sites have only one URL and the same HTML code across all devices which make it easier for search engines such as Google to find, index and organise content from a single company site than from two or more sites. A higher ranking goes hand in hand with increased conversions. A single URL is also easier for users to share and link to.

Outlook won’t accept my password
If Outlook won’t accept your password and you know you’re using the password for your email account, you might have an email account that requires additional security.
Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, Outlook.com, and AOL accounts all use two-factor authentication to help verify that you’re the person trying to access your email account.
To add your email account to Outlook, you’ll need an app password, also known as an application password. This is a different password than your regular email account password. One way you’ll know you need an app password is if you see the following message: 2-factor authentication is set up for your account. Please sign in using your application password.
The steps to obtain an app password are different for each email provider. Select your provider in the drop-down for instructions.
If you’re using two-factor authentication for Outlook.com, use the following steps to generate an app password.
- Go to https://outlook.com, click your initials in the upper right, and then select View Account.
- Under Security, select Update.
- Under More security options, select Explore.
- Scroll down to the app passwords section, and then choose to Create a new app password.
- Your app password will be displayed on the next screen. Make a note of this password, as you’ll need it when you add your account to Outlook.
- Use the instructions at the beginning of this article to add your account to Outlook, but when Outlook asks for your password, enter your app password.
