As the world shifted to a more online-centric way of doing business, ensuring that your website was informative, attractive, and functional became a higher priority. No one wants to have a business website that looks like it\u2019s been on the web for over a decade and customers don\u2019t trust sites that appear outdated or old.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s a new trend in web design that all business owners must make an effort to understand, or at least appreciate. Responsive websites are the new standard in web design and development. If you do not have a responsive website, you\u2019re missing out on customers, potential sales, referrals, and all sorts of other critical revenue boosters.<br \/>\nHere\u2019s a quick explanation:<br \/>\n<strong>What is a Responsive Site?<\/strong><br \/>\nResponsive sites are websites designed to automatically re-arrange themselves based on the device a customer is using to visit the site. In other words, your site looks one way on PC, one way on a tablet, and one way on a phone, but it\u2019s the same site overall. Different pieces move around to accommodate the different screen sizes available. This all happens automatically; the user only sees the end result.<br \/>\n<strong>Why Does it Matter?<\/strong><br \/>\nMore than 50% of local searches come from mobile phones. By the end of 2014, mobile search is expected to overtake searches executed from a PC or laptop. If you don\u2019t have a responsive site that\u2019s easy for mobile users to navigate, more than half of your site visitors may be having a bad experience trying to interact with your brand. In fact, 40% of mobile searchers admit that they abandon websites without mobile-friendly interfaces. Responsive design ensures all of your visitors have a positive experience.<br \/>\nWhen you\u2019re remodeling your site or building a new one from scratch, responsiveness should be a core focus. The primary goal should be ensuring that all of your customers are able to easily check your site and interact with your business regardless of the device they\u2019re using.
