At Web Design Alderley Edge, we create responsive websites that ensure not just the survival but the thriving of your business in cut-throat competition.
Mobile Users on the Rise
With the surge in smartphone surfing for online purchases, responsive websites play a pivotal role in attracting and retaining your customers. The average customer makes frequent online purchases and often switches between screens.
Hence, there is a compelling need for your website to adapt itself to differing screen sizes without compromising the user experience. Moreover, landing pages that attract the attention of impatient visitors contribute to higher conversion rates for your business.
Ensure Higher Visibility
Google gives higher SERP rating to websites that are mobile friendly. Google’s definition of a responsive web layout is one that ensures fast download, easy navigation and optimal viewing.
The search engine has advised the use of HTML5 for distortion-free viewing of videos on mobile screens. This apart, it has warned businesses against use of app download interstitials as they negatively impact the experience on mobile devices.
In short, if you want Google to include your website in its search results, your website has to be mobile friendly.
Web Design Alderley Edge can help your business rake up higher Google ratings and be more visible on search engine with a stunningly designed mobile responsive website.
