For a long time, Internet marketing experts have been talking about the coming mobile web revolution. They’re not talking about it anymore, though, because it’s already here.
Industry observers expect mobile web users – those browsing through smartphones and tablets – to become the majority at some point in 2015. That means smart marketers have had to adapt their approach to account for lots of small screens, something we’ve been working on here at WebRevelation.
These days, we’re providing our new clients with current and responsive web designs. In the mobile-ready world, they offer the perfect mix of functionality and long-term value.
Why Responsive Design Is Critical
If you aren’t completely familiar with the concept already, a responsive website is one that shifts and changes with different browsers and window sizes. With just a little bit of behind-the-scenes coding, it can arrange things like text and images differently depending on what kind of configuration a visitor is using. Someone viewing your pages in full screen gets one version, while someone else working with a smaller space gets another.
This matters a great deal because industry experts now think more than half of all web traffic is composed of users who are accessing websites via mobile devices. And what’s more, they aren’t all iPhones and Kindles – there are iPads, Androids, and Samsung Galaxy devices, not to mention a dozen others.
Each of these can have a different size, resolution, and underlying platform… and as time marches on, there won’t just be more and more of these devices, but more types of them and different generations in use (i.e., original iPads versus second-generation and iPad Mini devices).
The Bottom-Line Benefits of a Responsive Website
What this all means to you, as a business owner or marketer, is that a website that isn’t responsive may not look the way it was meant to for all of your visitors, especially going forward. Every time text and images show up where they shouldn’t, or aren’t arranged in a way that puts your products and services in the best light, you are likely to miss out on a chance to win a new customer.
WebRevelation has chosen to build responsive websites for our clients to enable them to market more effectively and keep their businesses growing.
