What is Responsive Web design?
Responsive web design is a relatively new approach to website design that ensures users have a good viewing experience no matter what type of device they’re using. It’s become increasingly important over the last few years as mobile device ownership has exploded and traditional PC sales have slowed. And now that Google is prioritizing mobile-friendly sites in its search results algorithm, it’s essential to make sure your site is optimized for mobile by using responsive design.
Benefits of having a responsive website:
Google Favors Responsive
The growth in mobile devices has caused Google to change their search algorithm. Google search results now favor mobile friendly websites when a user is searching from his or her mobile phone. This results in responsive websites appearing first in search results, which will get you found faster.
Improved Site Usability
If users can’t easily navigate your website, it’s unlikely they will stick around. A mobile responsive web design is fundamental to a positive user experience. The result is an improved user experience and typically greater time spent on site.
Faster Page Speed
Every website should be optimized to load as quickly as possible. Websites that are mobile responsive will ordinarily load faster (especially on mobile and smart devices), resulting in a more positive overall user experience.
Boosted Social Sharing
Responsive web design is built to make social sharing easy for the most dominant demographic online – mobile users. A website that is not optimized for mobile and smartphone users is going to have a difficult time in convincing its users to navigate the awkward and poorly designed social sharing buttons that are designed for purely desktop use.
