Let’s be honest, most websites suck when viewed on mobile devices. The reason for that is that most web developers don’t go the extra mile of creating and designing a mobile / touch friendly version of the website. And there’s a good reason for that: this extra mile can mean a lot of work!

But sometimes it’s just a few little tweaks and changes, which – when applied - make the experience on mobile devices better and friendlier.

So here’s one little thing I am asking for: instead of doing nothing at all, just do one little thing and add the meta tag for the viewport.

<meta content="width=device-width" name="viewport" />

This little tweak alone will save the visitor of your site the initial double-tap or pinch gesture to zoom into your correctly.

Notice the difference with my website for example:

1.) w/o the <meta> tag:

2.) w/ the <meta> tag:

… one line in your HTML that changes a lot for your users.
