Why You Need a Responsive Website for your business

One Website That Works on Desktop, Tablet and Mobile

Traditional desktop only sites simply won’t cut it anymore. One study from ComScore found that 49 percent of digital media time is spent on mobile devices, with tablets accounting for an additional 12 percent. With just 31 percent of time left over for desktop devices, it becomes clear that websites should be built mobile-friendly, tablet-friendly, and desktop-friendly. That’s why we employ what’s called responsive web design.

Traditionally, responsive design means stretching and shrinking your site to fit different screen sizes. However, we take it a step further by tailoring different features for different devices as well. For example, a Click-to-Call button will appear on a mobile device, but not a tablet or desktop. The experience and the needs of a visitor can differ greatly between a mobile and desktop device.

Currently, mobile devices are winning the battle for supremacy in local search, and these searchers are looking to take action. According to a study from Google, four out of five consumers conduct local searches on search engines and 88 percent of them are doing it on smartphones. What’s more, 50 percent of these people will visit an online store within a day.

But we don't’ stop there. We’ll work hand in hand with your business to gain a full understanding of what we can do to develop a comprehensive SEO strategy that generates more traffic on every device. More traffic means more enquiries and more business.

We make sure that our content and website designs consistently reflect these requirements.
