Slow Dance

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Do you run through each day
on the fly
When you ask "How are you?"
do you hear the reply?

When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Do it right at the beginning

5 thinks to keep in mind while optimizing your site to be mobile friendly

1. Think about the mobile device. Recognize its limitations (small screen, no mouse), but also think about its extra capabilities (it’s a phone, a camera, a text device…).

2. Think about the mobile user. Think “fast access to short bits of content.”

3. Keep it simple. Use short, direct sentences. Make navigation easy. Don’t expect people to fill out long forms. Let people find things with as few clicks as possible.

4. Keep it fast. Lots of video, animation, or large image files slow down your site. Keep them to a minimum.
