Please explain how mobile friendly ...

I've been searching out help to make a mobile app for our site as 46% of our crowd is buying from a hand held and guess what? our site is not mobile friendly. Upgrading zen is probably time and money better spent than getting a mobile app but how friendly can it be? Generally, a mobile friendly site is dumbed down quite a bit. Therefore the question: how mobile friendly is the newest release of zen?

Thanks

155 passes Google mobile friendly test and adheres to google mobile friendly standards. As far as being being dumbed down, a mobile friendly menu simply replaces side-boxes, cat-tabs and ez-page bar header.

Even if not interested in the mobile friendly design, note that 155 introduces many new features and securities as well.

In simple terms: it is very easy to navigate on a phone or tablet, at least IMHO.
