Building a good mobile website is extremely hard. It’s a fine balance between amazing UI and speed. Some of the best built mobile websites are minimalistic and intuitive at same time.
Here are some of the key stats attributed to why bounce rates are so high for mobile web sites:
- 60+ mobile phones contribute to majority of mobile traffic 📱.
