Responsive Website Design for Mobiles and Tablets

02/07/2014

In responsive design size really does matter!

Ensuring your website is responsive in design is essential to ensuring that it performs at optimal levels on both Mobile and Tablets.

What is responsive design?

With a responsive approach, we build websites in such a way that the site adapts to the size of the screen it is viewed on, without losing important pieces of content or visual appeal.

Think about viewing a website on a desktop computer  – you have a widescreen and can display the data and pictures horizontally while navigating with a mouse.  A mobile phone or a tablet, on the other hand, has a much smaller screen with touch screen navigation.  For such a small device one might leave out large images and make navigation icons larger so they’re easier to click.

The aim is to make browsing a pleasurable experience for your customer, independent of the device that they’re using.

Who can benefit from responsive design?

If your website traffic has more than 10% of users accessing it via a mobile device, it might be time to consider doing a responsive design if you do not already have one.
