Why Your Mobile Website Might Be Scaring Off Customers
Manage episode 488443037 series 2887790
This week, we're getting brutally honest about a problem way too many business owners are ignoring: ugly mobile websites. Just because your site looks great on a laptop doesn't mean it's cutting it on a phone—honestly, it might be costing you leads, sales, and your online reputation.
We talk about why mobile responsiveness matters more than ever in 2025, sharing hilarious anecdotes (accidental TikTok purchases, anyone?) and sharp insights about what instantly turns off mobile visitors—blurry photos, microscopic fonts, impossible-to-close pop-ups, and buttons so tiny only ants could tap them. Plus, we break down super actionable fixes: how to optimize your images, test your site’s mobile UX, and make sure you’re not sabotaging yourself with slow load speeds or broken links.
If you've ever caught yourself squinting at a site or rage quitting because you couldn't close a pop-up, you'll laugh and learn as we reveal quick wins for mobile optimization so your digital presence can actually convert the people who find you on-the-go.
Get ready for actionable tips, relatable (and slightly chaotic) stories, and a whole lot of tough love about upping your website game—because your business deserves better. Let's make sure your mobile site is as hot as your brand!

Here are 3 key takeaways you need to know now:
First Impressions Matter (Especially on Mobile)
If your site loads slowly, looks scammy, or has tiny unreadable fonts, most users won’t stick around—let alone make a purchase or reach out.
Practical Fixes Are Within Reach
You don’t need to be a developer to boost your mobile site. Optimize image sizes before uploading, use easy-to-read fonts (16px minimum!), and make tap targets (buttons, links) finger-friendly.
Test, Audit, and Invite Feedback
Use tools like Google’s Mobile Friendly Test, Page Speed Insights, or just check your own site from multiple devices and browsers. Sometimes the most valuable insights come from friends, colleagues, or even—gulp—your own fat fingers on the screen.
