Miguel - if you haven't already, suggest signing up for google webmaster tools and google analytics (both free.. currently.. who knows in the future). They will tell you exactly what % of visitors are coming from mobile devices, which operating systems, screen resolutions etc. Then you can decide if your indian friend is telling you the truth. I started a website a year ago, and less than 20% were mobile, right now it is > 30%, so mobile is catching on really fast. Google have a site with advice on this.. http://www.howtogomo.com Also google around 'what does my site look like on mobile' - there are sites that show you how much work you need to do. Make sure you look at both Android and Apple, which have most of the market. At the moment, google search doesn't penalise sites that are not optimised for mobile, but in the future I think they will factor this into their 200+ indicators they choose to decide how high up you appear in the organic search results. ie if you are not optimised for mobile, in the future you could be high up in the search results from a non-mobile devices, but low down if you search from a mobile device. I don't have inside info on this last point, just an educated guess.. it's not just the content, but how pleasant the viewing experience is. Google want to show the best of both.

Thanks everyone for the replies! By the way, what's the "secret" in dealing with web designers? Almost everyone I know of who has gotten a custom website has had problems with timeliness, customer service, SEO follow-through/overpromising and underdelivering, and even uncooperativeness in trying to transfer or get passwords, etc. Not to mention, it is a very expensive service in itself. I made my own website (obviously!) using the template application on Ipower's site years ago, but since then, it has just kind of deteriorated. I don't think I'm up to learning how to revamp it myself.
