A responsive website adapts to the screen size, orientation and platform of your pc or mobile device (s).
Why is this important? About 65% of people use their mobile device to browse the internet. Mobile browsing has changed the way we live our lives providing freedom to stay connected while on the go.
A well designed responsive website loads quickly. Grids and layouts are fluid and images and design elements are fully optimized through resizable image scripts and css media queries. It’s a well known fact that visitors who experience up to a 4-second delay will move on. Quick load times encourage visitors to return to your website where they gain trust and confidence in their purchase decision. Moreover, how well your website is ranked amongst search engines largely depends on whether your website renders well across all devices.
Your website developer works hard to perceive and understand the challenges that occur from ever-changing technology and how it relates to their role. Multiple devices with different screen sizes are constantly introduced into the marketplace. Changes are also inevitable as search engines struggle to meet the demand of an internet that is growing exponentially based on the number of users and amount of data.
At the end of the day, technology will continue to grow and we need to dig deep to respond to the changes.
