Are you responsive yet? If not you could be losing over 50% of clients to a rival company
Responsive web design has been the industry standard for quite a while now, in fact Astra Digital where using responsive code as standard well over two years ago, It’s only recently (Since Google made it a requirement) that it has really hit the web industry headlines, even so, many people still don’t understand the terminology.
Below I have listed the 3 main myths and misconceptions surrounding Responsive web design, These are actual questions and comments that I come across probably once or twice a week
A responsive website is the same as a separate mobile website
Wrong: A responsive website is a single site that detects screen size, a mobile website is a separate website that detects the device. Separate mobile websites are old flawed, technology
My website already works on a mobile so it’s responsive
Wrong: Smartphones will render your website whether its responsive of not, if you site isn’t responsive it will look the same as on a desktop but smaller, you’ll need to scroll and zoom to read text and click links and the whole experience is hard work and not very user friendly..
I don’t need to be responsive I’m on Google and my site is popular
Wrong: You may be on Google at the moment but guidelines are changing and Google is already choosing to show responsive website to people searching via a mobile/tablet.
However it’s not just Google you need to worry about.. More people are using mobiles to access the internet, If your site is not user friendly to these people they will go to a website that is.
