Despite the overwhelming use of hand held mobile devices many businesses are yet to take the appropriate steps to capitalize on this rapid change in market behaviour. More importantly, by not taking action they risk losing business and reputation by providing a poor user experience to their mobile consumers.
When you have a responsively designed website you can rest assured that it will display well on a smartphone, a tablet, laptop AND the traditional desktop computer. Additionally it should with good maintenance continue to display well despite the ever changing screen sizes, particularly on smart phones as responsive websites automatically readjust the size of photos and choose the optimal layout for the device being used.
Indeed, many of our clients of are frequently experiencing over 40% or more traffic from tablet and mobile devices, a strong commercial imperative to accommodate the smaller screen size in a unified design.
