Guys if your site is not mobile friendly from tomorrow it's going to slip down the rankings

How to make your website mobile-friendly - Startups.co.uk: Starting a business advice and business ideas (http://startups.co.uk/how-to-make-your-website-mobile-friendly/)

Unfortunately mine isn't and I've been quoted anything near on £1000 for a new website build (and that's just a Wordpress site, not a custom build). The sod of it all is that my site pretty much tops Google in most of my areas using terms that I know prospective clients would use - I am always testing this - I stand to loose a lot of business here unless I pay out some serious money!

I don't know how complex your current site is but £1000 to set up a Wordpress site is a crazy amount of money unless your demands are incredibly complex. My wife charges far less for creating a Wordpress website similar in form to that in my signature or this one http://www.alicebarker.com. They are mobile friendly of course.

Google changes the parameters for what is "Google Search Optimized" on a fairly regular basis. This is just one more bump in the road.

PS. I'm mobile friendly according to the link that Mister Harper posted.
