16 Apr What Is Responsive Design?
Did you know that the number of mobile users will surpass the number of desktop users by the end of 2014? yes, you read correctly – by the end of this year more users will view your website on their smartphones than on their computers! does your website look good on your phone? in fact, whip out your phone right now and have a look. I don’t mind waiting.
A responsive website means that more users will be able to enjoy the experience of visiting your website on their phones. Happier clients mean more sales! Making sure that your website degrades well onto devices with lower resolutions is key to ensuring that your website traffic grows. Even here at BWD, more users access our website on their mobile phones than desktop users do. I’m sure you’re even viewing this on your phone right now (if not, please do – it looks very cool and it’s healthy for your phone :P).
