More than 70% of web traffic in Malaysia comes from mobile phones. If your site is not built mobile-first, you are frustrating most of your visitors. Start with our guide on this topic.
Design for the thumb, not the mouse
Mobile-first means designing for small screens and touch from the start – big tap targets, readable text, and forms that are easy to fill one-handed.
Speed matters even more on mobile
Mobile users are often on slower connections. Lightweight pages and compressed images keep your site fast, so visitors stay instead of bouncing.
