Responsive design
Responsive web design (RWD) is a web design approach aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience, easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling, across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones).
Why do I need my site to be responsive?
If your target audience regularly uses mobile phones, tablets or laptops to view your website then responsive design is a must. The content is displayed in an easy to read format with minimal scrolling and 'pinching'.
Why not have a separate site for smartphones?
Having a seperate site will involve higher costs for implementation and maintenance. If your site is image heavy or invloves a large shopping cart then this may be more practical. If you need more advice do not hesitate to contact us.
Does Responsive design cost more?
There is an extra amount of effort to make a website responsive and the testing process can take a little longer as there are a number of different devices and screen sizes to take into consideration. Because of this the cost may be a little higher.
