What Is A Responsive website?
Why do I need a responsive website for my small business?
Well, people use their mobiles and tablets more and more.
Google reported in 2016 that between 50% and 60% of searches occur on mobile devices.
At the same time, a PayPal report published in 2017 stated that small businesses are missing out on a share of £27bn spent on purchases from customers using responsive (mobile friendly) websites.
Therefore it has never been more important to ensure your website is mobile friendly..

Responsive websites work, operate and function on any type of device. Whether you view a responsive website on a phone, tablet, laptop or desktop, they look the same. This is because responsive websites are coded to recognise the screen size of the device they are viewed on. This gives a far more satisfying user experience and hugely increases customer satisfaction, resulting in more sales and enquiries.
