In many of these cases, the site visited from a mobile device is the exact same site displayed on a laptop or desktop computer. Just because it can be seen, however, doesn\u2019t mean it can be used. Most full sites viewed on a mobile device require you to pinch, flick, double-tap, or drag in order to access their content. You need both hands for these gestures: one to hold the device and the other to perform the action. A mobile-friendly site, however, eliminates this barrier and makes accessing essential information as simple as a single touch with one hand.<\/p>\n<p>By displaying only essential information such as hours of operation; directions and location; contact information; service offerings; deals and promotions; and basic \u201cabout\u201d information, mobile-friendly versions make it easy to identify critical information without the need to navigate a full site. Trimming down information from a full site for a mobile device and making it \u201ctouchable\u201d rather than \u201cpinchable\u201d is one of the most significant advantages of a mobile-friendly site.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Click here for <a title=\"Going Mobile-Friendly\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sharphue.com\/blog\/2012\/06\/going-mobile-friendly\/\">the full post<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of this year&#8217;s WordCamp sponsors, Sharp Hue, recently wrote a post on mobile-friendly sites versus full-sites viewed from a mobile device.
