What is Website Responsiveness? Why Does It Matter?
There’s no doubt we’re living in the most screen-forward time of times. When you’re looking for a web designer to build your new business, nonprofit, or freelancer website.. make sure to hire someone who knows how to build responsive web pages.
What does having a responsive website have to do with my growth?
To keep it simple: it means now, more than ever, people are using mobile devices to view a website, surf the web, etc. With such a high percentage of website views coming from mobile devices, ensuring your site is mobile-friendly is KEY to keeping people around and exploring.
Have an online store that sells homemade soaps? Make sure it works for smaller screens. Want to showcase your portfolio or services? Make sure it works for smaller screens. Taking appointments through your website? Hey.. guess what I’m going to say? Make sure it works for smaller screens! 
When your site is optimized for mobile-viewing, your visitors have a more enjoyable experience. A more enjoyable experience encourages more exploration, and more exploration encourages action to be taken. As a bonus, it helps your local ranking on search engines! Google will always prioritize a website that is structured properly.
My advice: check how your site looks on smaller screens. If text is legible, elements are interactive, buttons are easy to find, and navigation is a no-brainer.. you’re probably all clear! But if your site is loading slow, text is too large or too small to be legible, or you don’t have a clear path for visitors to follow.. your website would benefit from some mobile optimization techniques. Especially before you add new promos for the Holiday season! Make it easy for your visitors to do what you want them to do!
