Is your website responsive? If not you could be losing business! September 17 2014 / Posted By: Melissa Priest
It’s been a while between blog posts as we’ve been busy building some fabulous new responsive websites.
Is your website responsive? How does it look on a mobile or tablet? Is it small or formatted badly? Do you or your users constantly have to zoom in and scroll the page around to view your site? If so this means that your site isn’t responsive and you risk losing business.
Responsive web design is a web design approach that presents or formats a website optimally for the device the website is being viewed from, e.g. a tablet or mobile.
This means no zooming in and out trying to read or view areas of a site. It means a clearly adjusted nicely laid out website specifically for your device.
There are many benefits to having a responsive website, not only that your website is suddenly readable to the huge number of users now viewing the internet while on the go on a mobile device (a desktop computer is so last year for a lot of people). It means that users can find the information they’re after quickly and easily, especially as those using a tablet or mobile are more inclined to want that information as fast as possible.
Another major plus is being able to turn certain website features on and off for different devices. So for example if you have an image slider feature on your homepage but you’re concerned that this might slow down your site on a mobile (or not be as relevant on the go) you can choose not to show those slider images on the smaller devices. The same goes for banner ads and other features.
If you don’t have a responsive website, you risk losing business to those that do. If people can’t navigate your site or are annoyed when they can’t find the information they’re looking for they will leave your site for your competitor who has a responsive website.
