Can A Lead Use Your Website With One Hand?

Check the page, call button and enquiry form on a real phone before signing the site off.

Your next lead may be on a phone between jobs. They need a clear route to the facts and a call.

Open your site on your own phone. Try the tasks a new lead would try.

Can They Read It?

Use clear text without pinching to zoom. Keep lines short and buttons easy to tap.

Show your trade and area near the top. Keep text outside images so it is clear on small screens.

  1. Read

    Check text and scope.

  2. Tap

    Test buttons and menu.

  3. Send

    Check the enquiry reaches you.

Can They Reach You?

Tap the call button. Check the number it opens. Test the contact form and confirm the email reaches your inbox.

Ask only what you need: name, contact, job site and brief. Keep form labels clear and show what happens after sending.

Does It Work When The Signal Is Poor?

Keep photo file sizes small. Avoid large files that make the page drag. Check the menu, back button and page links.

The stock photo here shows a style idea. It is not proof of a real client build.

Ask a friend who has not seen the site to find where you work and how to reach you. Watch where they get stuck. Fix those points before adding more features.
