The use of mobile devices for online purchasing is steadily rising. The good news is that Magento makes it so easy to make your website compatible with viewing on a mobile phone.
The statistics for Christmas 2011 showed that more than a quarter of online shopping took place on a mobile device and nearly one in every £10 was spent via this channel.
Therefore having your website optimised for the mobile is rapidly becoming a top priority for online shop owners.

Magento has such a huge community of developers that write extensions and new front-end skins all the time. This means that 9 times out 10 someone will have developed what you need for your online shop. This is no exception to skins being available for online shop owners wanting to give their customers a good experience on their phone. However, you will struggle to take advantage of this if your Magento website was not developed cleanly.
