Common Mobile Mistakes We See on Gold Coast Sites

Huge hero images that take 5+ seconds to load

Compress images and use WebP format. Aim for under 200KB per image.

Tiny buttons that are impossible to tap accurately

Make all clickable elements at least 48x48 pixels with 8px spacing between them.

Contact forms with 10+ fields

On mobile, ask for name, email, and message only. Get additional details later.

Pop-ups that cover the entire screen

Google penalises intrusive interstitials. Use slide-ins or banners instead.

Desktop navigation that does not collapse properly

Use a hamburger menu that opens full-screen for easy navigation on mobile.
