Mobile Sites
The increase in the use of mobile devices to browse the Internet is quite staggering. With more people than ever using smartphones, having a website that works on mobile devices is crucial. Still not convinced? Take a look at some of these facts and figures.
- Today, 75% of adults in the UK use their mobile phones to browse the internet.
- From the 23rd of April 2015 Google altered their complex algorithm, so that whether a website is “mobile friendly” or “mobile responsive” is now an important ranking factor for Google search.
- 57% of users say they won’t recommend a business with a poorly-designed mobile site.
- Google says 61% of users are unlikely to return to a mobile site they had trouble accessing and 40% visit a competitor’s site instead.

All our websites are developed with smartphone and tablet compatibility in mind, using what is called ‘Responsive’ web design. This technique allows us to produce sites that adjust to the size of screen, so they work equally well on a smartphone, tablet or traditional PC. Moreover, as there is no separate “mobile” and “desktop” versions of the website, there is only one system for you to update, making a responsive site easy to maintain.
