2. Content
People use smartphones and desktop computers for very different purposes, People on desktops typically want to gain a greater understanding of your business and brand. Smartphone users, on the other hand, are usually looking for more immediate answers. This could include where you are located and what your hours are. The content on your desktop and mobile website need to reflect these specific needs.
