Important Facts About Responsive Web Design

 

Entering the arena, adaptive or responsive web design is one that is done so that our web page is visible, accessible and usable from all devices, so that it 'adapts to them'. Therefore, a single website adapts to most resolutions and in this way it is not necessary to have, for example, a separate web version that has already been deprecated with domains that started with the M for mobile: m.domainname.com

Responsive web design also allows improving the visibility and positioning of the site, reduce the time and costs devoted to web development, avoid duplicate content and promote the virality of the content, as it increases the chances of it being shared through websites. social networks.

As we have pointed out, responsive design has multiple advantages, but it is not the simplest option for that. If you are still determined to incorporate it into your page, from our Web design company inBangalore we give you 5 aspects to take into account :

Importance of Responsive Web Design

1. Optimize the images. Including compressed photos on the web is essential to reduce data consumption and speed up your upload process. Think that it is impossible to know what device and what type of connection the users of our site will use and in the case of mobile phones, they can access from a very weak network. Studies show that most visitors leave a page from a mobile device if it takes more than 5 seconds to load. You know, speed counts a lot!

2. Pay attention to font sizes. If it is already difficult to read the content of some websites from the computer, imagine a mobile phone. Check that the font is not too small on different screens. The view of your visitors will thank you.

 

3. Limit the use of effects. Many of the effects that appear in the desktop version will not work on the responsive web. Imagine, for example, that the “read more” of a news item appears in the hover, which does not exist on mobile devices. You may find that the visit times from the mobile will be strangely low in relation to those of the desktop web and it will not be for less.

 

4. Separate the buttons and size them appropriately. When planning a responsive design, you should bear in mind that not all of us have piano fingers. Always keep in mind the size of the interactive elements and web buttons and check on a mobile device that none of them interfere with navigation. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to click on a point on the screen and being unable to do so!

 

5. Try to keep the same content. As a general rule, in responsive design, only the menu formats and the placement of the advertising are usually modified, if any. Try to keep all the content (or at least most of it) in the mobile version. This will ensure that your web positioning strategy remains intact.

Advantage

With a single version in HTML and CSS, all screen resolutions are covered, that is, the website created will be optimized for all types of devices: PCs, tablets, mobile phones, etc. This improves the user experience unlike what happens, for example, with fixed-width websites when accessed from mobile devices. In this way, the creation and maintenance costs are reduced, since it avoids having to develop applications for mobile versions, for example, a specific application for Android mobiles, another for iPhone, etc ... From the point of view of search engine optimization, only one URL would appear in the search results, thus saving redirects and errors derived from them. Errors would also be avoided when accessing the specific website from the so-called " social links ", that is, from links that users share on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram, Tumbler Google+, etc ... and which may end in error depending on which link was copied from (from which device it was copied) and from which device it was accessed.
