Why Your Small Business Needs a Mobile Responsive Website
A mobile responsive website is crucial for any business that wants to compete and win customers in the digital era.
In particular, as more people use mobile devices to access content, having a website that is optimized for mobile devices has become ever more important.
Providing a mobile responsive website not only allows customers a much better browsing experience, but it also improves your SEO ranking on Google which in turn means your website gets seen by more visitors.
Something that should also be noted is Google now assigns prime importance to mobile over the Desktop version of your website when indexing your website for the first time.
Indexing means your website has been crawled by Google, allowing it to show in the Search pages
The process of making your Mobile Website Responsive
There are a number of ways of making a mobile responsive website.
The most common way is to use a mobile responsive template that determines the look of your website.
At thedesignpool.ie we use a template called Avada which is mobile-responsible and also comes with it’s own performance manager.
This means we can create a faster viewing experience for visitors by removing all the elements you may not need.
It should be noted Google rates speed highly when it comes to SEO.
You can test your website speed on the following Google tool. It will test both the mobile and Desktop versions of your website.
If you are not happy with the speed then give us a call and we will work to improve this for you.
We have extensive experience in improving the loading speed of websites.
In fact we wrote this recent post as to how we can do this for you. Remember, if your speed is slow it will have an effect on how many people see your website.
Once we have you up and running with the Avada theme, we will also provide you with 1 hours worth of training free of charge.
You will find Avada very easy to use. At the back end, it is a bit like using a word processor. Type in the information you require and then save it.
There is also a tool bar that allow you to format text and containers for different types of content. For example, if you wish to upload an image, well, there’s a container for that!
If you are not sure if Avada is right for your type of business then it provides a wide range of templates for many jobs and professions.
However if you do not see something that fits the bill, then we will customise a template to suit your requirements
