Responsive Design vs. Mobile-friendly

What is the difference Responsive Design and Mobile-friendly?

Responsive Websites are constructed using proportions of the screen and refit the content to every change in screen size. They are perceived by Google as best repetition because they acclimate to your screen device so will flawlessly fit your smartphone, or desktop, or tablet, regardless of screen size.

Mobile Friendly sites are distinctly intended websites which load up on a mobile device so you close up with several versions of your website. They are more static to customized for each screen size.

Which One Should I Pick?

We recommend a mobile responsive design to confirm that your web users have the best involvement you can afford them as well as for ease of maintenance for you.

Why Brands Should Shift Towards Responsive?

Responsive web design has a lot of welfares over a mobile friendly design: Malleability, Lesser Maintenance, Whole User Experience, and Traffic & Analytics.

Flexibility

The crucial point of responsive websites is their flexibility to familiarize to any kind of screen size, which is of snowballing prominence as there is no standard screen size that every phone uses. Even in the same company you get a diversity of screen sizes. Responsive websites will appropriate themselves to the accurate size for the device it’s being viewed on and confirms that nonentity has to experience the prevention of the “pinch-and-zoom” because their screen sizes wasn’t used to generate the website design.

Whole User Experience

Connecting to the earlier point, this flexibility affords the best user experience to all regardless of what device they are using in the time. Numerous people will end up using several devices across a search. That means that a single user is likely to visit your website on more than one size screen and assume the experience to be equivalent and consistent.

Lesser Maintenance

Through a responsive website you simply have one website to manage or maintain. The whole thing is centralized and stowed in the one place which means that when you do only one change to your site it updates across all kinds of tablet, mobile devices, laptop  and desktops. There is no more perturbing for updating all versions that you have of your website.

Whilst set-up charges for a responsive website is higher up front than a mobile friendly site.

Traffic & Analytics

We do as standard for all our new websites and with just one responsive site you can simply view and compare all web traffic irrespective of device. That way you can easily track how your website is going on in all devices side-by-side for the best evaluations.

Way to find out if any website is mobile responsive?

There are some simple ways to check if your website is mobile responsive. Firstly check your website on your mobile in both portrait AND landscape. If your site is responsive it will adjust the design to better fit the extensive screen whereas a mobile-friendly website will resize the content to fill the screen but will not make any changes to the layout. Secondly you can load your website up in your desktop browser and resize the window. A responsive website will fit the content into the new window size.
