- You get mobile websites that serve massive graphics that take forever to load on mobile.
- You get mobile E-commerce websites with usability disasters during checkout.
- You get responsive websites with key visuals scaled down to minuscule promotions
- You get websites with less information and content available on entry
- You get to play hide and seek with hamburger navigation
- You get hosting companies offering free utilities and low cost services to convert website to mobile "point and click"
- You get websites where the full version is still more friendly.
Sure, a high quality mobile website can be a great way to improve key performance metrics. Businesses typically see increased conversation rates, decreased bounce rates etc. with their mobile users.
But only when the mobile website is done "right".
With businesses rushing to get this done ASAP there's a good chance it's not being done right - even if they still get that shiny green checkmark from Google.
And if the "full website" is performing just fine with mobile users, what's the rush to offer a separate version?
Google said so I suppose. Even it means a less friendly website.
