Every Website Should Be Responsive, Google Agrees.

Every Website Should Be Responsive, Google Agrees.

A responsive website is a site that adapts its layout to be appropriate for the device on which it is being viewed. When a responsive website is viewed on a smartphone, desktop computer screen, or tablet, the experience must be consistent and well thought out.

Why should you have a responsive website design?

Here are the top five reasons from the Links Web Design – Online Marketing Heroes:

1. Recommended by Google

In Building Smart-Phone Optimized Websites, Google recommends responsive web design for its single URL, device-optimized view, and resource-saving techniques.

2. Improved Usability

Responsive web designs are built to be easy to navigate and read, no matter if you are viewing them on a 5″ or 24″ screen. This means a responsive website can lead to more sales for your business.

3. Search Engine Friendly

A responsive website puts everything under a single roof, one domain name, and one SEO campaign. No more managing two sites full of content and trying to generate backlinks to those respective domains.

4. Keep Ahead of Your Competition

We know Google prefers responsive websites. We know that users prefer them as well. Your competition is moving in that direction, but may not be there yet. This is your chance to get ahead of the competition and the exploding mobile market.

5. Mobile Device Web Browsing Will Overtake Desktop Browsing Within 2 Years

Mobile browsing is very popular now. According to a recent study by the Pew Internet Project, 63% of adults own a smartphone and use it to go online. Mobile browsing is growing quickly. It will overtake desktop browsing soon.

According to IDC:

By 2015, more U.S. Internet users will access the Internet through mobile devices than through PCs or other wireline devices. As smartphones begin to outsell simpler feature phones and media tablet sales explode, the number of mobile Internet users will grow by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.6% between 2010 and 2015.

Looking at data for local Maine websites, our own analytic data from hundreds of our Maine-based client websites show that this year 33% of all the website traffic comes from a mobile device.

"I knew when I opened a small campground that my website could literally, make or break my business. I did my homework and chose Links Web Design. I could not be happier with the decision. They broke the process into simple steps, without delay and involved us so that our website reflects us and not the designers. The follow up and support has been exceptional, the price is so reasonable I hesitate to say lest they read my review and realize they are underpaid for the service provided."
"In today’s world, a business needs a website. Unfortunately, everyone from the boyfriend of your neighbor’s daughter to the not-so-local chain of television stations to someone you’ve never heard of is trying to convince you that you should choose them. When I chose Links Web Design to develop the website for our business I was looking for four things; 1) knowledge and ability - can they design a website that not only looks good but that s easy to use, and that will be ranked high in search engines. 2) The people; are they easy to work with, trustworthy, in it for the long haul, and LOCAL. 3) Reliability; will they keep my website updated and maintained so that it remains accessible. And lastly, 4) Price; am I getting a good value for my investment. When I reached my decision it was clear the best choice was Kristy and Ken Kimball at Links Web Design in Bangor. I felt that way when I first selected them and still feel that way years later. If you are a business or non-profit that has a website you need to talk to Ken and Kristy and Links Web Design.- Don Hanson, Green Acres Kennel Shop, Bangor, ME"
