In today’s world, most people have their phones pretty much glued to their hands - and when they’re hunting for a great pub, bar, coffee shop, or club, they’re searching on the go.

That means having a website that looks and works perfectly on a phone isn’t just a nice to have anymore…it’s absolutely essential.

Why Mobile Optimisation Matters So Much

Imagine you’re out and about, craving a spot to grab a pint or a coffee. You pull out your phone, quickly Google nearby places, and click on the first website that pops up. But then…❌

Frustrating, right? Most people will simply click away and try the next place.

This means if your pub’s website isn’t mobile-friendly, you could be losing out on new customers every single day - even if your food and drink offerings are top-notch!

What Does “Mobile-Friendly” Really Mean?

A mobile-friendly website:

How Pubs Can Improve Their Mobile Experience

  1. Keep it Simple and Clear - Visitors should find key info in just a few taps - think clear menus, contact info, and easy links to social media.
  2. Fast Loading Times - Mobile users expect websites to load within seconds. Large images and complex designs can slow things down, so it’s best to keep things streamlined.
  3. Touch-Friendly Navigation - Buttons and links need to be big enough to tap easily. No one wants to struggle with fiddly menus on a tiny screen.
  4. Regular Updates Made Easy - Your website should be as easy to update as your social media, so you can keep menus, events, and photos fresh and relevant (without calling in tech support every time).
