The holiday shopping season is here, and with it comes a surge of online shoppers looking for the best deals—mostly on their mobile devices. In fact, over 70% of holiday sales happen on mobile, making mobile-friendliness a non-negotiable for your website.

If your site isn’t optimized for mobile, you could lose customers before they even reach checkout. Let’s explore why mobile-friendliness matters and how you can make quick, impactful updates to ensure your site shines this season.

Why Mobile Matters

  • Convenience Is King: Shoppers are searching and buying on their phones during commutes, lunch breaks, or while watching TV. If your website doesn’t load properly, they’ll quickly move on to a competitor.
  • Google Prioritizes Mobile: A mobile-optimized site doesn’t just appeal to users—it also improves your search rankings. Google’s algorithms favor mobile-friendly websites, especially during high-traffic periods like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
  • Trust Builds Sales: A website that’s hard to navigate or looks clunky on a phone erodes trust. Customers associate a smooth experience with professionalism and reliability.

3 Quick Wins to Optimize Your Website for Mobile Shoppers

Simplify Your Navigation

  • Mobile users need a clear and intuitive menu. Limit your menu items to essentials like “Shop,” “Deals,” and “Contact.”
  • Add a prominent button for holiday deals on your homepage to guide shoppers directly to what they’re looking for.

Speed Up Your Site

  • Compress large images using tools like TinyPNG or ShortPixel.
  • Use lazy loading to ensure that images only load as users scroll.
  • Test your site speed with Google PageSpeed Insights and follow recommendations to reduce load times.

Make Checkout Seamless

  • Test your checkout process on a smartphone. Ensure payment options, cart updates, and form fields work smoothly.
  • Enable guest checkout to reduce friction for first-time buyers.
  • Display shipping deadlines prominently to create urgency and manage customer expectations.

Pro Tip: Test It Like a Customer

Grab your phone and explore your website as if you were a new visitor. Try searching for a product, adding it to your cart, and completing a purchase. Note any hiccups or areas that feel slow or clunky, then address them immediately.

Founder CJ of Ivingo Creative

Hey! I’m CJ.

Web designer turned conversion strategist—aka your go-to for websites that actually do something.

Before Ivingo Creative, I was running a tent & event rental business with my husband (yep, weddings, festivals, the whole nine). I learned how to get us to the top of Google without an agency—and realized I kinda loved the strategy side more than the setup.

Now? I help businesses and service pros build websites that work harder—optimized for conversions, SEO, and real results.

When I’m not fine-tuning CTAs or obsessing over UX, I’m recharging with my crew, a strong marg, and a break from my screen—because balance matters, too. 

Let’s make your website the hardest-working part of your business so you can relax, too.
