About 25 percent of Americans use smartphones and it is predicted that by
2012 that number will jump to as much as 50 percent. For legal recruiters who want to capture the attention of
job candidates and clients on the go, having a mobile ready website is
critical. Below are a few tips on
how to make your website mobile friendly:
1. Consider using
a mobile conversion plug-in which can convert your existing legal recruiter
website into an easy to read mobile version. See a list here.
2. Consider
creating a micro legal recruiter subdomain site specifically designed for
mobile phones.
3. A legal
recruiters’ mobile website should only include information which mobile users
wants such as: job postings, contact information, access to their log-in
information if you have job candidate or client accounts setup on your site.
4. A legal
recruiter’s mobile site should be designed for a screen size of 320 by
240 pixels.
5. All content on a legal recruiter’s mobile
website should be short. Photo and other media should be small.
6. Give the mobile user the option to block
downloading photos and other media because it eats up bandwidth and can be
costly for the user.
7. Do not include large advertisement
banners on the screen because they can delay the downloading time of your
mobile website.
