But with the ever-increasing number of devices that people can use to find content online and connect with people around the world, the need to make that content accessible to people, no matter what device they're using, is growing. greater time.

While some people still prefer to read longer pieces of content on larger screens such as computers, there is a growing number of people who primarily consume content on their smartphone or other smaller device. Knowing this, it's important to create a blog or website that can be used just as effectively on a small screen as it is on a big screen.

To help with this, here are three ways you can make your blog or long pieces of content more engaging when viewed on smaller devices.

Use a responsive design

Many bloggers or business owners have fallen into the trap of creating a beautiful website that looks amazing on a desktop but then doesn't look the same on a tablet or smartphone. All the time and money that was put into the amazing design is now wasted because a large portion of your audience can't experience your content the way you intended. To avoid this, consider using responsive design when creating any future websites or blogs.

Marko Saric of HowToMakeMyBlog.com shares that responsive design allows your site to be used by your visitors. This eliminates the worry that your visitor is not getting the right experience with your blog or website. Responsive design means that no matter how your visitor sees your content, whether it's in a smaller browser window on a computer, on their tablet, or on a small smartphone screen, they won't have to adjust their view or scroll to view the content the right way.

Think about readability

When you have a lot of content, it's a good idea to avoid frilly and fancy fonts that could make your content harder to view and therefore difficult to read. 

Business2Community.com contributor Ivana Kitanovic shares that the best fonts to use on her blog are san serifs because there are no extraneous lines in the font to make the text difficult to read. Many, but really any san serif font will work if you're worried about how your content will translate to smaller screens, which it should be.

Create a minimalist menu

Another aspect of your blog that can get in the way if your content doesn't convert properly from a larger screen to a smaller screen is the menu. Julie from FabulousBlogging.com tells us that because people are less likely to just browse your blog or website from a mobile device or other small screen, it doesn't make sense to keep your entire menu there to clutter limited space. Rather, try including your menu on the mobile version of your blog or website so your visitors can focus on the content without all the interruption.

Mobile devices, smartphones, and other technologies that employ smaller screens can make life much more convenient. However, this convenience deteriorates when the content you want to consume on a small screen is not acceptable. Use the tips above to update your blog so that regardless of how someone is viewing it, they can see every word you have to say with no problem.
