What does this mean for the Small business Owner?
It means your website must be built and designed for easy access and navigation on mobile devices.

Without a mouse to point and click, mobile users have to rely on tiny keypads, trackballs and touch to navigate mobile websites. Add in the small screen with the need to complete tasks quickly and efficiently, and clear and intuitive navigation becomes crucial.
