With the increasing popularity of mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, it is now very important that websites are responsive and mobile-friendly. But what do these actually mean?
Responsive web design is an approach to web design that allows for a site to have a fluid layout that provides an optimizing viewing experience no matter what screen size it is placed on. In other words, it is a website that can automatically readjust its content so that it looks just as good when your screen size shrinks, from let’s say a laptop to a mobile phone. If a laptop had a three-column layout, then in order for the content to be viewed easily on a mobile phone, it may readjust itself so that it becomes a one-column layout. Pretty cool, right?
In terms of the programming aspect of responsive web design, instead of using pixels or points to describe page elements, the styling code focuses on using percentages of screen size so that these elements can readjust depending on what screen size it detects. These CSS3 media queries have allowed web designers to create and adjust website content in a unique way depending on their clients’ needs. A good designer will know what layouts to use for each screen size and make sure that user experience is not sacrificed due to these structural changes in the layout.
But why would a responsive site be important? Apart from the obvious reason that your site will be more user-friendly and attractive on smartphones and tablets, getting a responsive site will show that your business is up-to-date with one of the largest web design trends of the modern world. Not only will a responsive website help your business, but it will also improve your search engine optimization as Google’s search engine now prefers sites that are more mobile-friendly.
