Is My Website Mobile Responsive?

HAVE YOU EVER been on a website on your mobile phone that requires you to pinch, zoom, or side scroll? It’s annoying, and most people just give up! If your website does that, your website is not mobile friendly, and it’s time to upgrade.

Art DeVaughn from Web Art DeVaughn Services, a locally owned and operated software development firm with more than 20 years of experience, says, “Having a mobile friendly website is absolutely essential for anyone doing business online. It’s not hard to accomplish, but the design and layout must start with a mobile first approach.”

Depending on the type of business and goals for the website, additional design options are available when choosing to migrate from an obsolete, legacy website to a mobile responsive website. Most clients will choose a standard design option, which is a website that works on all device types, including desktop, laptop, tablets, and mobile phones. Another design option is known as a Progressive Web App. This option allows all of the features and functions of a standard design, with the added ability to install an icon on your device screen - similar to an app. For those who need deeper integration into the features of a mobile device such as navigation or camera usage, a native mobile app is the way to go.

“When designed properly, a mobile-responsive website ensures a stellar experience that is consistent for all visitors to your site, regardless of the device they are using,” said Art. “It will also rank better with Google Search, as well as decrease bounce rates (percentage of visitors leaving your site) and increase website traffic. Customer engagement will also rise and, most importantly, conversion rates will too. Mobile friendly is a win for everyone.”

Art and his team at Web Services provide complex web programming services, including Mobile Response Websites, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), and Apple and Android Mobile Apps.
