On a weekly basis, I come across websites that are not providing the absolute best Mobile User Experience (UX) to their website visitors because the developer did not properly configure these web interfaces for accessibility and efficiency to optimize on-the-go interactions!
The objective of this webpage is to provide anyone without specialized knowledge in the web design industry, with a simple easy to follow instructions CHECKLIST, that allows them TO VERIFY if their website is providing the best Mobile User Experience (UX) to their website visitors!

Most businesses already have a social media presence however, some websites DO NOT EXPLOIT the Open Graph Protocol Meta Tags that makes the web content stand out when a web page is shared on Facebook, Messaging, Twitter, and other social media apps.
Open your smartphone Messages app.
Using your smartphone, open any of your webpages with your favorite web browser.
Copy your webpage name as it appears on your web browser window.
Paste the webpage name to your smartphone Messages app.
Send yourself a Message with a link to your webpage.
If the Messages App ONLY SHOWS YOUR WEBPAGE NAME, this specific webpage is NOT CONFIGURE to fully exploit Open Graph Protocol Meta Tags.
Repeat Steps 4-5 but instead, send yourself a message with a link to this webpage.
Do you see the difference? When anyone shares a link of to any of my webpages on social media, which website is more likely to get more traffic?
✔Here is an example of the Open Graph Protocol Meta Tags that I use on this webpage. EVERY WEBPAGE needs to be configured with similar Open Graph Protocol Meta Tags containing different content and images that are relevant to each individual webpage!

After a mobile user visits your website and wants to store your contact information for future reference, they have several options:
They can create a "Bookmark" of your webpage on their favorite web browser app.
They can manually type your contact information on their smartphone Contacts app.
They can create a "Bookmark" of your webpage on their smartphone Home Screen. The vast majority of mobile users prefer this location because ONE TAP to the Apple Touch Icon, gives them access to the entire website.
✔This HTML ONLY CONFIGURATION allows webpages to be added to any smartphone home screen and behave like a web application.

⚠️If the BOOKMARK shows a long name, your webpage IS NOT CONFIGURED with an apple-mobile-web-app-title meta tag.

QR codes date back to 1994, but they gained prominence in 2020 as businesses around the globe adapted to a "contactless" way to display content to customers and prevent the spread of COVID-19. You can create a FREE QR CODE that references your social media page or webpage.
Have you ever been in a situation where someone asked you for your business card but, YOU DID NOT HAVE ANY WITH YOU?
