More people are accessing websites on their mobile phone, particularly as the price of data usage on mobile phones is decreasing. You might find that visitors only need to do simple things, such as find your phone number, but a website that is not built with mobile phone usage in mind can make even the simplest of tasks painful.

The easiest way to support mobile phones is to have your web developer create a stylesheet (css) specific for mobile phones. Then, needless parts of the website can be hidden, and colours, fonts and layout elements can be altered to make the website fit nicely on a very small screen.

If your website is larger and more complex, and each page consumes substantial bandwidth just to view, then you might choose to create a separate mobile phone version of your website. A common standard is to use a subdomain called ‘m’, so your URL would be http://m.example.com. You might choose to present just a sub-set of your website’s content on this URL, but ideally, it would be identical to your normal website in content, but have a custom display suitable for mobile phones.
