As predicted, more people than ever are turning to their mobile device to search for local store or make purchases right on their phone. Creating a mobile-first website not only makes navigating your site easier, which could lead to more trackable conversions, but it creates a reputable brand that can be reached at any time, even on the go. You know that mobile users are everywhere, and they’re absolutely here to stay.
