URvisible's Top 5 Reasons Why Responsive Website Design (RWD) IS A Best Practice
Responsive website design is simply THE best practice for delivering the same message to any device a visitor might use to view your website. Whether it's the full web (via laptop or desktop), tablets, and mobile devices, the question shouldn't be "SHOULD my website be responsive?", but rather, "WHEN can I get a new, responsive website launched?"
Since our inception, URvisible committed to making responsive website design our standard. Any URV website layout you choose will be responsive. Period.
Here are 5 reasons why responsive website design is best practice:
1) Google 100% endorses & encourages responsive website design. Don't take our word for it. Here is a direct quote from Google's Official Developer website:
Sites that use responsive web design, i.e. sites that serve all devices on the same set of URLs, with each URL serving the same HTML to all devices and using just CSS to change how the page is rendered on the device. This is Google's recommended configuration. | Source: Building Smartphone-Optimized Websites (Google's Official Website Developer Site)
2) Your website code controls what is displayed on smartphones & tablets. Carefully coded responsive website design that uses meticulously thought out (excuse the technical terminology) media queries allows certain portions of the full website to be hidden on a tablet &/or mobile version of a responsive website. This can be seen in action on our website & this URV website. Note that the mobile and tablet versions of these websites includes information that is tailored for & scales to fit these devices.
3) A good responsive website design can still be developed in the same amount of time (or in our case, much less time). Our developers are highly skilled & know how to code efficiently. The result? A platform that allows you to create your mobile-ready website in minutes. Try finding another option that allows you to go responsive in 20 minutes or less!
4) Tablet use continues to rise and the importance of having a website that looks good on them can't be understated. As of August of last year, Apple shipped a combined total of 17 million new Retina display-equipped iPads and iPad 2 tablets combined, an increase of 44.1% from 11.8 million in the first quarter and enough to capture 69.6% of the global tablet market (Source). Couple this statistic with the rise in Android Tablets and Kindle sales, and it's easy to see that tablets are another very preferred form of web browsing for your potential customers & clients.
5) Updates are easy! Since all versions of your website are, in essence, using the same text content and photography, updates can be made in one central location. URvisible has carefully created our Content Management System to make website updates fast & easy.
