How to make website mobile friendly?

I keep having website companies contact me saying that my ZenCart website (https://www.goldnuggetsales.com) is not mobile friendly. So how do I make it mobile friendly? Any information and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Two ways typically suggested in the forum, either install a responsive template (many available in the downloads section) or incorporate the responsive template framework (sorry I know the name is wrong but it is one of the options to download in the responsive templates section.)

Note that Zen Cart v1.5.5 has a Responsive Template built-in. So you could upgrade to v155 and then customize the responsive_classic to suit your needs.

Is it necessary to convert the code to HTML5 to be mobile friendly?

Not sure what "code" you're referring to, but there are responsive templates available that don't use HTML5.

Sorry for my ignorance, but does that mean I would have to change my template from what I am using now? If I use my current template would I have to change it to HTML5 to be mobile friendly? Sorry if that's a stupid question, but I am learning.

Your template WILL require changes, no matter which approach you take.

There are lots of options:

• apply some DIY ("do it yourself") template package components to hopefully preserve much of your current template
• install an existing template and customize it
• upgrade to v155 and use its responsive template, customizing it to your liking

There are many pros and cons with each approach. I recommend using v155 and customizing to your needs, mainly because it gives you the latest version with all the known bugfixes.

Thank You!
