The past one year has seen the most changes in coding and programming for websites. This accelerated era of changes has been primarily due to the incredible rise in mobile devices popularity. It is fair to state that most professionals and consumers now own one or more mobile devices.

Nowadays you do not have to be an engineer to own a smart phone. Everybody has one! We know numerous people who own two phones and two tablets. One of our clients has his home set up with 50 iPads. True story! Mobile devices are no longer used just to communicate; they are used to control other devices such as TV, Computers, Security System, Point of Sales Systems, and more.

What difference does it make for your website?

Number one:
Your website needs to become responsive to the device used by your visitor. This simply means it automatically “know” and adjusts its layout, design and information based on the screen size of the website visitor. Without this code, your site will be too small, too slow and too cumbersome for anyone to want to browse it. This new technique is done using CSS3 and other types of coding. It has replaced the need for mobile devices. Not long ago, business owners who wanted their site properly displaying on mobile devices, needed to pay for the development of two websites: one for computers and one for mobile products.

Now, with responsive design, business owners of all budgets can afford to have a competitive and appealing website both on computers and mobile devices.

Number two:
Though Google does reveal its “top secret” algorithm, it has become clear since the release of Penguin at the end of May 2013 (Google algorithm name) that having a website responsive adds those very needed “bonus points” which increases the ranking of your website. So if search engine optimization is important to your company or organization, you want to make sure that your website is fully responsive all new mobile devices.
