Get 1 website that works on all mobile devices


What you probably need is a responsive website. What is responsive? It means that your website will auto-adjust when you pull it up on your tablet or ipad and then it will resize again, automatically, when you go to look at it on your phone. You only need to maintain a single website and all of it’s content. No more separate mobile sites! And mobile matters… in this article from the Huffington Post, they say that 25% of internet users in the US access the internet via mobile device ONLY!

Here is an example that you can check out on all of your devices : http://www.aftonmountainvineyards.com/

This is what it will look like:

RESPONSIVE IS A GOOD IDEA FOR SEO

As seen in this article at Search Engine Journal, Google also loves Responsive! Google likes that your URL stays the same across all devices (no more .mobi or m.url) and that your code also remains the same, and with 67% market share, we all know we are bowing to Google.

This article also goes into why its a better user experience, which Google also likes, so this can help your ranking.

“If visitors are browsing a site via their mobile or tablet, they should be able to view all of its content as easily as desktop users. Say you spot something on a website whilst browsing on your computer, and want to send it to a friend who will view it on their phone. If the website is responsive, and has been designed well, the content will work just as well on their screen as on yours.” ~ Search Engine Journal

A PASSING FAD?

We doubt that all the largest players would have bought in if this were going to pass us by. Check out the Boston Globe, the LA Times, Mashable and so many other huge sites, they are all responsive. We also doubt Google would have put their weight behind something that would be going away too quickly.

We all know we can’t ignore mobile, so this is a great way to invest in a single site that keeps up with our changing environment.
