Why Mobile Navigation Matters More Than Ever
If your website has a small number of pages—say, fewer than 10—and uses a modern theme, chances are it will display just fine on mobile devices. Most up-to-date themes are designed to be mobile-responsive, and with fewer links, navigation remains simple and user-friendly.
However, if your website offers a wide range of products or services—or if it includes lots of menu items like on an e-commerce or information-rich site—you may start running into issues on mobile. Navigation menus can run off the screen, become cluttered, or simply fail to load properly.
That’s bad for business. With over 60% of website visitors browsing on mobile, a poor mobile experience can cost you sales and enquiries.
We solve this by adding a smart plugin that detects mobile users and shows them a simplified navigation menu—just the essentials. This not only improves usability but also boosts your search rankings and creates a smoother, more professional user experience.

Take a moment to check how your website looks on a mobile device.
Also, remember—this is about more than just convenience. It’s about PR, your reputation, and your brand. If a potential or existing customer visits your website after seeing your business elsewhere, and the mobile navigation is a mess, it reflects poorly on your company. They’ll likely leave with a negative impression.
✅ Make sure your mobile experience is clean, easy to use, and professional. It’s a simple check that could make all the difference.
There are a few plug-ins available to customise your mobile navigation menu, or you can edit the CSS file to achieve the desired functionality. If you’re handling this yourself, just be cautious when selecting a plugin—ensure it’s compatible with the version of WordPress you’re using. We typically recommend the ‘Mobile Menu’ plugin because it’s straightforward. Once it’s set up, you can easily select and edit it from the standard WordPress interface.
