Responsive Website Design

In today’s modern era of the smartphone, a responsive website is no longer just a luxury, it has become a necessity. We understand that the days when websites were only viewed on desktop computers are over. Now, smartphones have now taken over and this is why your website needs to cater to the requirements of all types of screen sizes and devices.

It is also worth mentioning here that over 60% of all traffic on the internet today comes from mobile devices. This means that there is a higher probability of your website being accessed through a smartphone or tablet than desktop computers. This statistic perfectly illustrates why it is essential for a brand to have a responsive web design. The most successful brands today have websites that are designed to adapt to all devices that they are accessed from.

What Is Responsive Web Design?

Let us first begin by understanding what exactly responsive web design means. In simple terms, it is a particular method of developing a website so that is able to adjust to the screen size that it is viewed on. The website automatically adjusts all elements on the current web page (such as font size and images) to fit the user’s current device. This enhances the user experience for customers that will be visiting your business website.

Surprisingly, despite the growing popularity of smartphones and responsive websites, the majority of business websites today are not mobile compatible. This mistake by businesses leads to negative user experience for the customers that eventually leads them to look for other options. We, here, at webdesign.sydney recognize this and encourage our clients to integrate responsive web design in their website to ensure best results.

How Is A Responsive Website Different To A Regular Website?

A common question asked by our clients is: How is a responsive website different to a regular website? Well, before the concept of responsive web design was introduced, all websites consisted of a layout and framework that was based on a ‘one size fits all screens’ approach. This was a successful methodology for when desktop computers and laptops were the only devices used to access websites.
However, as mobile devices became more and more common, it became more and more difficult for users to render websites on the small screens of these devices. The text was too small, the images did not load to the correct size, and the layout seemed distorted. This is when the ‘one size fits all screen’ technique used for regular websites failed. The frustration of the users eventually led us to the discovery of responsive web design.

The technique of responsive web designs is based on adaptability. A responsive website consists of several different layouts and frameworks that are designed specifically for different screen sizes (according to the device). Today, the most successful websites are based on responsive web design. We provide you with the best services in the market today for converting your old and boring website to a dynamic and responsive one.

Why Should You Use Responsive Web Design?

If you are already not convinced that you need to switch over to responsive web design, here are the results of a study concluded by Google just recently:

  • 52% of all internet users have stated that poor user experience with websites on mobile has made them less likely to engage further with a business.
  • 48% of them said that they feel frustrated and even annoyed when a website does not work well on their smartphones.
  • 36% of these users feel that they have wasted their time by visiting websites that are not mobile-friendly.

We know how important it is to have a responsive mobile website in today’s competitive market, this is why we believe in providing you with all the services you need to make your business website stand apart from its competitors.

The 5 Key Ingredients For Responsive Web Design:

Nowadays, the majority of the users today expect a website to be interactive, quick, informative, and easily accessible. Effective planning before the development of your business’ website can help you connect better with your clients. Here are the 5 key ingredients that we integrate into your business website to boost customer satisfaction:

  • Information Architecture: The manner in which the content on your website is organized, structured, and labeled is very important for the users.

Our team of skilled data analysts study the information available on your website to build an information architecture that is best suited for your customers.
  • Content: While the information architecture is important, the content that goes into it is equally as important. If the content on your website has no meaning for the visitors, it is useless irrelevant of how advanced or interactive it may be. We combine together the various types of content (such as animations, images, and text) to drastically improve user experience. Our content writers make use of engaging headlines with strong calls to action to communicate your marketing message to the audience in an effective, reliable manner.
  • Navigation: Today, most users spend an average of only half a minute on a website before deciding if they should continue browsing through it. Moreover, a user is likely to leave your website immediately if they cannot find the information they want easily. This is why we make use of clear navigation on your website to ensure minimal learnability.
  • Usability: When a user comes to your website, they have a specific goal in their mind. For instance, they might be looking to find information about your business such as contact details. How easily they can achieve this goal is defined as the usability. A successful website is not only well organized and well designed, but highly usable as well. Our approach to usability is to understand your customer’s requirements from the website. We then use this information to formulate and implement usability goals.
  • Performance: There are numerous factors that affect a website’s performance, particularly that of responsive websites. From poorly written code to poor utilization of browser caches, everything can slow down your website. We recognize this and test the speed of your website at every phase in the development process. Our goal is to optimize your website so that it is quick to load and efficient to use.
