Google is Moving Forward and So Should You

Just recently, search engine giant Google decided to use a new algorithm that will prioritise any websites that it deems “mobile friendly.” This change was implemented to acknowledge the importance of the rapidly growing mobile-users market, who use their mobile devices to access the Internet instead of using personal computers and laptops. 

In today’s world, using a personal desktop computer is too much of a hassle when the Internet is literally in the palm of your hands. Cellphones are no longer just tools for communication; now they’re also a tool information gathering. All we need to do now is to open our mobile phones and we can find out just about anything we want to know. Maps, dictionaries, translation devices, gaming consoles, and your 6:00 daily news are all available with just one swipe of your finger. Yes, swipe, because the age of clicking has given way to the age of touch screens.

It’s little wonder then that current trends favour websites that are better suited for smaller screens, like big fonts and touch-friendly styles of web designing. Google is now taking the next big leap and so websites everywhere must adapt or risk getting stuck in the stone age of big screen platforms.
