Responsive Web Design Services
BLOG / Branding Strategy 24 December 2023
More and more people are now browsing the web on their smartphones & tablets. For now, up to 52.03% of the web traffic is coming from mobile devices & this number is only expected to go up!
This rise in mobile traffic means it has now become important for websites to be responsive. A responsive web design ensures that users can view and interact with the website easily, regardless of their screen size.
If you think about it, would you be willing to buy a product/service from a website that doesn’t display properly on your mobile? I am sure the answer would be a big NO!
That’s why if you want to provide a good user experience (UX) to all users of your website (regardless of their device), you must go for responsive web design services.
What is responsive web design?
A web design that adjusts the content depending on the visitor’s device is known as a responsive web design.
For example, a visitor from a laptop will do fine with a full-sized menu. But you can’t show the same menu to a mobile user as it will not fit the viewable screen. A better option would be to show a hamburger menu that shows the menu options upon a user’s click.
Just like that, responsive web design can shrink, hide, move, and adjust the different elements of a website to ensure a good user experience (UX) on all devices.
Mobile-friendly vs. responsive design: What’s the difference?
- Mobile-Friendly – A mobile-friendly website is usually a shrunk-down (compact) version of what you would see on a desktop/laptop screen. Although the design makes the site usable, we can’t call it user-friendly! The buttons become “fat-fingered,” and using the input field on forms becomes difficult.
- Responsive Design – The website design is reformed to produce the same experience one would get from a desktop/laptop. This includes resizing or reformating the pictures, changing the menu, enlarging the clickable items, etc.
Back in the day, it was a common practice to create a separate version of the website just for mobile devices. Upon detecting the visitor’s device, the users were redirected to either mobile or desktop versions.
But today, the trend has changed, and the majority of the websites are now responsive! This means the website design responds and adjusts itself based on the viewer’s screen.

Benefits of responsive web design services
These are some of the reasons why you need the best responsive web design services:
- Since 2018, Google has started using the mobile website version for indexing and crawling. This means websites that don’t display properly on mobile devices will be at a disadvantage.
- Having a responsive design means you only need to manage one version of your website. On the contrary, having a mobile and desktop version of the website means you need to manage two sites!
- Responsive design offers the best version of your site to every visitor since it is compatible with all devices.
- Responsive design ensures that visitors get the best experience on your website. This improves brand reputation and also leads to more sales!
