I have created my website using dreamweaver Ultra Dev4 but I have recently been told that my website needs to be mobile friendly in order to get better rankings on google.
I had no idea that it wasn't already mobile friendly and I have no idea how to make it so.
If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. By the way, I am a complete novice when it comes to websites and I know very little about the Dreamweaver program. In fact, I am very surprised that I even managed to get my website online in the first place. Please make any answers as easy as possibble to understand especially for someone as thick as me when it comes to web design etc.
Also, if anyone can offer suggestions on how to optimise my website for search engines. This would also be very appreciated.
By the way, my website is: mkkarateuk.co.uk just in case you needed to see what I mean.
Thank you

I had to double check the date of this post to be sure I wasn't in a time machine. UtraDev 4 is ancient software from 2001. Too much has changed on the web in 17 years. It's fair to say, your site needs a rebuild to bring it up to modern web standards. And UltraDev4 is not going to help you much with modern HTML5, CSS or JavaScript because it wasn't built to support current web technologies.
Suffice it to say, you need a modern code editor to help you build a modern, mobile-freindly, websit

You might want to download & install DW CC for a 7-day trial to see if you can work with it. Be prepared. DW has changed a lot too. And some coding skills are essential.

Run your site through the Google Mobile Friendly Test. View details to see exactly where your site is failing and why.
Mobile-Friendly Test - Google Search Console
It would also be a good idea to add SSL Certificates to your server to change your site's protocol from HTTP to HTTPS (secure).

When I test your site on Google. I'm seeing only one result.
site:www.mkkarateuk.co.uk
site:mkkarateuk.co.uk
However, when I test this URL, I'm seeing 81 results. I assume this is your actual domain name and not the former?
