What you may ask is the difference between having a desktop website and a mobile website?
The
answer is simple. When a visitor tries to access your website on their
smart phone, it has to be user-friendly with the mobile device or it’s
going to look distorted. If the design is not optimized and laid out
correctly, the viewer may see the wrong content or worse they may view
what appears to be a disorganized arrangement of words and design, which
of course can’t be good for business.
Google wants websites to work correctly on ALL devices and they recommend that the sites be “responsive” designed websites. Responsive web design
is a technique to build web pages that alter how they look using CSS3
media queries. That is, there is one HTML code for the page regardless
of the device accessing it, but its presentation changes using CSS media
queries to specify which CSS rules apply for the browser displaying the
page. This is Google’s recommended configuration.
Below is from SearchEngineNews.com regarding responsive web design: “Google
has decided to reward sites for site performance that has nothing to do
with relevancy. In fact, no matter how ‘relevant’ your site may be to
your market niche, Google thinks it’s more important that your Web site
load fast and display ‘normally’ on all viewing devices. This includes
iPhone, iPad, Android devices, desktops and laptops.
In a
word, they’re saying that your site had better be “Responsive”
…referring to a new type of Web design that completely trashes the Web
design that most companies are using and effectively demands that you
change your site architecture right now, or else.
Yep. Evil. But it IS the way it IS. The question is: what are you going to do about it? …cry? …or play to win?”

Responsive Web Design
With
the number of smart phones in existence and growing daily, millions of
people could potentially gain access to your website with their mobile
device, but what will they see? If you don’t have a website that is
compatible with a mobile device, you could be losing a great deal of
business.
The advantages of a mobile web design are many and include the following:
- Generates new business
- Enables easy navigation
- Improves the user experience
- Is interactive and easy to access
- Makes surfing more fun and much easier
- Improves SEO performance
- Rankings rise on mobile-friendly search engines
- Increases business visibility
If your
mobile website
is optimized, it means that it’s been designed to fit precisely on the
smaller mobile device screen. That way, everything is displayed
correctly and in turn, navigating is easy and efficient.
Mobile Web Designs Are Growing in Leaps and Bounds
Each
year, over one million cell phones are replaced and traded in for a
smart phone, which means millions upon millions of people are using
their smart phones to access websites. In fact, more people are now
using their smart phones versus their desktops to access the web, so a
mobile web design gives you greater reach, more flexibility, and the
opportunity to make contact with those looking for your services and
products. Remember, if a visitor accesses your website from their mobile
device and it’s not compatible, the odds are you will lose that
potential customer.
Mobile designs are the fastest growing
strategy on the web. Shouldn’t your website be one of those websites
that are compatible with your smart phone? If you’re ready to join the
mobile revolution, we at Red Spot Design are ready to help you make it
