Web design technology is very different than it was five years ago. The big push is smartphones, tablets, and iPads. All have pushed the web design industry to develop new forms of code, allowing the same data to be delivered in smaller bits much faster. Today, it’s essential that your site loads quickly on all devices: Smartphones, iPads, tablets, and wireless computers. Designing your site with responsive website design technology will allow all your users to view your site no matter their device quickly. Today, you don’t need two websites: mobile and computer. Responsive web design allows you to have one site that adjusts to the users’ device.
Designing a website is no longer just about the computer. Before you hire a responsive web designer or developer, it’s crucial to inquire about how your site will perform on various devices. If they don’t have a satisfactory answer, It’s a red flag. In such a case, we encourage you to reach out to us for expert advice.
We have included a few samples of the different versions of how a site would look on various device sizes. The vital thing to think about is usability. The user should not have to zoom in and out to read. If you make the user work too hard, they will give up and go somewhere else. Don’t make the mistake of thinking no one uses anything but a computer to view your site, and never use Flash as a central part of any page on your site. Many devices can’t see Flash.
