Mobile Website Design Checklist for Gold Coast Businesses
Most of your visitors are on mobile. If your site is not optimised for them, you are losing leads every single day. Use this 25-point checklist to find and fix the issues.
Why it matters
Why Mobile Performance is Non-Negotiable
Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning they rank your site based on its mobile version, not desktop. A poor mobile experience does not just frustrate users. It actively hurts your search rankings and costs you customers. The good news: most mobile issues are fixable once you know what to look for.

What we see
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.
