Your Mobile Website View

Have you looked at your website using a mobile device? 30-40% of your site’s traffic could be through mobile devices. A lot of that traffic might be from  first-time visitors as well. There is a chance that a high number of visitors that view your site for the very first time through their mobile devices. Typically, visitors will spend anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute viewing your site. If they can’t find the information they are seeking, you may have lost a great opportunity for a new patient or assisting a current patient in need of information quickly.

Using our Web Services website as an example, one major difference you can immediately see from these screenshots is that the “Call-to-Action Button” (orange button) that typically sits just above your main site menu is now hidden within the drop-down menu on the mobile site.

You can change that in your Theme Options! Log into WordPress and click on Appearance > Theme Options > Header Call to Action > Check the box underneath “Header Action Item Mobile Location.” This will move your call to action button out of the menu and back onto the front page for mobile visitors.
