    The public marketplace is a website. It should follow web design best practices.

    Here are a few examples:

    1. All pages should render on all browsers
    2. Page load times should be fast (under 2 seconds)
    3. The majority of the content should be prerendered by the server for SEO optimisation
    4. It should utilise responsive web design
    5. It should not have a separately maintained mobile version (see point 4)
    6. It should aim for Lighthouse scores approaching 100 (Currently 31 for performance and 66 for SEO).
    I was shocked to discover that the blank partner page I was seeing on my mobile was by design – there are no plans for a partner page on mobile.

    Our company, and others link to the partner page from our website, so if we can’t guarentee that it’s being rendered for 100% of the people, it defeats the object of having the page.

    Responsive design is 15 years old in May 2025. Having to separately maintain a mobile site is a burden that no company wants or needs.

    Please abandon the mobile site and use responsive design on the actual site.

    I ran into similar pain points on another project, and getting a responsive setup in place made a huge difference for load speed and Lighthouse scores. I leaned on ideas I picked up while working with web design Tacoma, which pushed me to prioritize mobile-first layouts and server prerendering. Your request feels spot on, and having everything under one responsive build usually keeps things cleaner and faster for users.
