Going Responsive

It is now more important than ever to ensure your website is fully responsive. In April 2015, Google’s ‘mobile friendly update’ search algorithm revealed that mobile friendly websites would be given a boost in Google search results over desktop only websites, after a survey revealed that mobile searches had for the first time overtaken desktop. A fully responsive website will function on all devices providing a more user friendly platform for its users.

• 67% of users are more likely to purchase a products or service from a mobile friendly site.
• 62% of companies that designed a website for mobile devices reported an increase in sales.
