A mobile-friendly site should be designed specifically for smaller screens, allowing easy navigation via larger touch-screen buttons, and only display relevant information and content for the users’ needs. Therefore it means that the content of your main website needs to be scaled back a bit. Seeking expert advice on this will serve your business significantly.
