Why Businesses Should Take Advantage Of Responsive Website Design Edmonton

By Stacey Burt


As people are shifting to use of mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones to access the internet, businesses need to ensure they remain aligned to these new emerging demands in terms of optimizing their websites. A responsive website design Edmonton, Alberta can offer many benefits. For every task that used only to be done on desktop, it is now being done on mobile devices.

Consumers are searching for products and services from the internet. Today, they are not only using their PCs but also mobile devices. In fact, the use of mobile phones like smartphones in accessing internet is increasing and growing popular. Business people want to do business while on the go.

You may want to have a website that is designed for desktop users and another for mobile users, but then again, it will cost you more and may not be convenient. Now it is possible to have a website that is able to support both platforms of mobile and PC. A responsive website designing simply means that you have a site that is created so that all the contents including images and the structure will remain the same on all devices whether viewed from a PC screen or from a tablet and smartphone.

When you access the content of the site from a PC, you will view it clearly on the big screen. Similarly, when you use your mobile device, you will also see the content clearly as it retracts to fit on that small screen. This way, you are allowing your site to be accessed from both platforms- the mobile and the PCs.

In the past, you could lose many audiences because they could not access your site through their mobile phones but today, that is changing as users regardless of what platform they are using to surf the internet, they can access your website easily and in any screen big or small. One big advantage of using responsive designs is that you are able to convert the audiences or leads that come from mobile devices. This is a traffic that has been lost in the previous times because sites where not optimized.

However, with your new design, you can now be able to tap the clientele base whether coming from PC or mobile devices. There are also tools, which you can use to discover the behavior and interaction of mobile users when they land on your website. The way in which they behave when they get to shopping carts, visit a specific page, or land on your home page.

When users accesses your site and find it difficult to navigate through or cannot see the content they want, they will abandon that site and head to another. This is likely to happen if you have not optimized your site to mobile use. Consider that the time taken by audiences when they land on your site will be used by the search engines algorithms to determine the ranking of your website on SERPs.

An unoptimized website could lead to a big number of people abandoning your site soon they land on the pages. This is something you would want to avoid with the responsive designs. Managing SEO campaigns is made easier with the new designs. You do not need to have two separate campaigns for different websites created for PC and mobile.
