Can A Lead Use Your Website With One Hand?

Check the page, call button and enquiry form on a real phone before signing the site off.

Your next lead may be on a phone between jobs. They need a clear route to the facts and a call.

Open your site on your own phone. Try the tasks a new lead would try.

Can They Read It?

Use clear text without pinching to zoom. Keep lines short and buttons easy to tap.

Show your trade and area near the top. Keep text outside images so it is clear on small screens.

Ask a friend who has not seen the site to find where you work and how to reach you. Watch where they get stuck. Fix those points before adding more features.
