Is your website responsive yet?
I may have talked about this before but this is so important I will talk about it again (and again). ‘It’ being your website’s responsiveness.
Responsive web design means that your website will adapt to the user’s environment and load seamlessly on any device, operating system (iOS or android for example) and even web browser (i.e. Safari, Chrome etc). Whether you’re on a laptop, tablet or smartphone, you should see websites load quickly and proportionally (or appropriately) for the device.
It’s no secret that the majority of website traffic nowadays is from mobile devices. In fact, according to my website‘s Google analytics, on average 90% of visitors come from a mobile device.
This means that if my website wasn’t mobile friendly, I’d lose out on so much potential lucrative traffic!
So basically, ensure your website is responsive as there’s no point even having one if you can’t view it on the vast array of mobile devices out there.
A great little discovery I made recently is Am I Responsive? You enter your own website’s URL (i.e. address like www.golddesignandcomms.com) and it will show you how it renders on different devices like a desktop, laptop, smartphone and tablet.

Next blog post we’ll cover some other important website attributes like loading time.
