Why Is It Important To Have A Responsive Website
Design?
The Increasing Number of Responsive Websites
How does the web design trends have changed?
2
In the days back to 2001 there were many website
owners who used to run a single platform website
for their businesses. In those days usually,
websites were accessed through computers. After
some time when mobile phones were introduced to
internet users, they reduced the use of
computers to access the internet. Then website
owners come up with two different versions of
their website naming desktop version and a
mobile version. It offered visitors a great user
experience and now they can access websites
anytime, anywhere. As time passed, the technology
evolved and new devices were launched in the
market such as laptops, tablets, and iPad. When
users tried to open the websites in those
devices, it couldnt open properly and the
features and elements were displaced from its
original position.
Keeping this problem in mind the designers come
up with the idea of responsive web design. The
biggest advantage of having a responsive website
is that you can view it properly using any
device at any point of time. These days you will
find at least one LCD TV, laptop, desktop,
smartphone, and tablet in an average home if they
like to be surrounded by technology. Besides
this, you might also find a big or small screen
device in vehicles that can be a bike or a car.
Most of the people who are living in the 21st
century are surrounded by different kinds of
screens in their homes, office and even public
place. To take advantage of this situation
businesses should give a professional look to
their website so that it can be viewed on as many
screens as possible. Their
3
websites should also be easy to use and easy to
navigate if a potential customer lands on their
site.
In simple terms responsive web design is a kind
of flexible layout that optimizes the website
viewing experience across all devices and
platforms. These days having a responsive
website for your business is one of the biggest
advantages as it delivers an excellent user
experience and attracts a large number of
customers. If a website fails to open properly
in the mobile phone or tablet, your users are
less likely to do business with you. This is
because neither they will be able to understand
your brand or product nor they will be able to
make a good first impression. So if you are
considering to create a responsive website for
your company or organization you dont need to
look for the right time but the right web design
company. SFWP Experts is considered as the top
web design company in Los Angeles that creates

What are the percentages of designing responsive
websites? Depending on the reports of sources,
responsive web design is used by nearly 80 of
webmasters. And recently Google has reported
that 82 of webmasters who have voted on their
poll claimed that they use a responsive web
design strategy while creating
4
websites. However, this percentage seems to be a
bit high as there are more than thousands of
websites operating on the internet.
Do you know why webmasters give so much
importance to responsive web design? There are
many reasons favoring why webmasters use a
responsive web design strategy. First of all the
responsive websites can be accessed by a large
number of potential customers even when they use
different devices to view it. Also, it adjusts
itself automatically to fit the exact screen
size of multiple devices.
Apart from this, the buttons on a website are
automatically resized so that mobile or tablet
users can tap it easily. With so many advantages
why a webmaster wont use the responsive web
design strategy to build websites? If you are
also overwhelmed by the advantages of having a
responsive website, dont delay in looking for an

Although there would be very less number of
people who might not agree with the reports of
Google about responsive web design strategy. For
them, the report obtained from other studies
states that the actual percentage of webmasters
who use responsive
5
web design strategy is most likely the opposite
of what Google poll suggests. Back in 2013 when a
technology and service company did an analysis
with the Fortune 100, they found that only 11
of websites worked properly on different devices.
Again in 2014 when a cloud computing company did
an analysis, they reported that nearly 19 of the
top ten thousand websites were working as a
responsive website. With these figures, you can
understand how the trend of creating responsive
websites is growing. While there arent as many
websites as the Google study claims but you
should understand that the number of websites is
still growing. This is because more and more
webmasters have now started to understand what is
the importance of using a responsive web design
strategy?
In the above-mentioned study it was also found
that the number of websites that has a separate
desktop and mobile URLs is slightly more (at
about 21) than the number of fully responsive
websites. This means that more website owners are
now making a constant effort to make their site
compatible with more than one device or platform.
Since things change with a change in time so web
design trends are also changing with time. As I
have discussed earlier that webmasters used to
create a separate mobile version and desktop
version of websites in the early days, now that
trend has changed. The web design trend has been
changed for improving the user experience of
visitors
6
and allowing them to access the website from any
device. Now a responsive web design is only used
instead of two different versions of a website.
You can also create a responsive web design for
your website if you have enough knowledge of
programming languages and its uses. But if you
dont have a proper understanding of programming
languages it is better to look for highly
experienced web designers on the internet. They
will create a customized website for you that
will drive huge traffic through various devices
and platforms. However, you can also consider our

responsive website needs. We have a strong team

What Makes a Website Responsive? If you want to
make your website responsive so that it can be
accessed by all users, you will need to
- Design it in a specific way so that its pages
load smoothly on all devices including small and
medium-sized smartphones. You can do this by
configuring the viewport meta tag
7
properly so that your website could resize
automatically and fit the screen of the
user device. The role of the viewport setting in
a responsive website is that it provides control
over the scaling and width of web pages when it
is accessed through various devices.
- Make it touch-friendly for your smartphone and
tablet users so that they can swipe or tap on
their screens while using your website. It means
your site should have easy to view and touch
buttons that you can tap on to choose a specific
product or service. You can get such buttons
designed by a leading web design company or you
can switch to our company. We are based in Los
Angeles and our designers know how to work with
texts, not just content. They assume texts as a
user interface that visitors would like to engage
in when they use your site.
- Make it easy to navigate as navigation is one
of the most important elements of web design.
From the very first moment, you need to determine
the appropriate position of the links and
buttons. Check if you can use the scroll bar or
drop-down menus for navigation. Also, you need
to pay attention to the size of links and buttons
so that users dont feel difficulty in touching
it.
- Use some additional tools that will help you in
testing how your website is working. This way
you can find mistakes and correct them to deliver
a great user experience. Also,
8
ask your friends and associates to test your site
so that you can get their feedback as well.
Remember one thing that if you are running a
responsive website for your business, the bounce
rate of your site will be decreased. It means
more and more visitors will stay on your site
for a long time before they leave. The longer a
visitor engages, the higher the conversion rate.
This is why having a responsive website is
extremely important, especially when you are
running an eCommerce store or an online business.
You should understand that there are only a few
web design companies in Los Angeles good at
designing fully responsive websites. And most of
them have higher service charges and low success
rates. In that case, you can approach SFWPExperts
- a professional Wordpress website design
company and we will make sure you dont miss even
a single opportunity of acquiring your potential
customers. Our designers completely understand
how to treat text as a user interface and that
works as a key factor in successful website
design.
