Advantages of Responsive Website Design

1. Very Flexible

Responsive Websites are fluid, meaning the images and content adapt freely across screen resolutions on all devices. When a potential customer views your website it will automatically adapt the content and layout to suit the device.

2. Excellent User Experience

Content is key, it’s the user experience that works well allowing the user to view the content on any device. Responsive web design is about providing the same user experience, if viewing on a desktop, smartphone or tablet. Responsive web design accommodates the busy professional during the day or the mother taking the kids to school on a bus in the morning. No re-sizing or zooming is necessary for anyone viewing your website on any device.

3. It is Cost Effective

Having the freedom to edit just one website rather than the “mobile website” & the “desktop website” is very cost effective, saving you time and money.

This is an inconvenience for people and chance are they will drop off your website and check out the competitions website. Responsive web design also enhances your SEO efforts by having all your visitors directed to a single site no matter what they prefer to use.

This is our opinion

You publish content only once so there is no risk of duplicate content issue.

The SEO work you are doing for your desktop version is ‘automatically’ applicable for the mobile version.

You are offering mobile users an optimised version so are more likely to rank higher on mobile search results.
