I would have thought most webmaster's would have mobile sites by now especially when using CMS like Wordpress it's really easy to implement.

Agreed - it's more for people/businesses who have historic websites.  They need to make a decision on whether to update their own websites or leave it as it is.


mrb I do the same thing , it ain't no biggie for me to move the slider , but unfortunately a lot of people don't .. I need to get this sorted asap now myself but don't want to go down the route of having 2 different systems

"it's really easy to implement"

 

are you referring to updating a stock theme that has been updated to be responsive and requires  a click to update it? I know half the world uses cheap or free themes and if so, many will be updated to be responsive and so you can often get a free update to make your wp theme responsive (same for other cms themes) but not so with a custom theme - which is what a business is more likely to have.

I bought mine but something is not compatible (I think with CSS JS Loader) which breaks the responsive side as I need tabs and the 1 page checkout ... Just checked and there is an update ,so may go and play this weekend on a test site

Well a week on, and this is starting to feel like an anti climax. Yet to see any huge seismic shift in the mobile search results. Other than getting a "mobile friendly" moniker in the results, I'd say we are about exactly the same as we were 2 weeks ago.

No doubt there will now be a bolt of Google lightening and we'll disappear fro ever off the mobile results 

Anyone else seen anything good or bad?

Clearly it wasn't a date for a big change. Maybe they are rolling it out slowly starting on 21st. None of my websites are affected yet.

Agreed - I can still find plenty of non-mobile websites in my search results on mobile/tablet....


I am now finally on the verge of being mobile friendly at long last. Although am a little disappointed on 2 points .1 being fast easy checkout can't be responsive all the way though and the other is products being in grid format ..Hopefully a update will come out soon to rectify this , weird thing is some sites are in grid format ,will just have to research more in this dept
