Responsive Web Design
Our mobile-friendly sites are better for customers, better for search engines
At Charles Design we build all of our websites in a mobile-friendly (responsive) format. This means that content be will automatically adjusted to suit the viewing platform - whether it be desktop, tablet or mobile. If it’s mobile, for instance, the formatting is changed to single column, font size is adjusted, and actions changed to single tap.
We believe this is a vital aspect of contemporary website creation. It is important to support the browsing activity of today’s audience, allowing you to reach as many potential customers as possible and making it easy for them to interact with your business.
Furthermore, responsive websites will rank better in search engine listings.
If your current website is not mobile-friendly (often an indication that your website is a number of years old) you might want to consider an update. Charles Design can help you to achieve a responsive solution, either by rebuilding your current site or providing you with a new design - a great opportunity to make all of those other changes you’ve been meaning to carry out.
