Responsiveness is no longer a mere additional feature but a necessity for websites. Responsive design means that the website will render on all devices, irrespective of the screen size. We discuss 5 things to remember while opting for responsive web development services in India.<\/p>\n
In 2011, Google introduced the smartphone Googlebot-mobile spider to crawl web results. Google recommends the \u201cmobile-friendly\u201d design for a website as opposed to creating a separate mobile website.<\/p>\n
As of 2016, mobile internet penetration stands at 46.1% and as per a study by Comscore in Dec. 2014, smartphone usage had risen by 394% while tablet use had risen by 1721%. The study further revealed that the two new platforms account for 60% of the digital media time spent.<\/p>\n
Google with its stakes high in mobile internet perpetuation (being the parent of Android<\/a> platform and Google search engine), is doing pushing hard for ensuring businesses embrace mobile-friendly through responsiveness.<\/p>\n On the mobile platform, content has to be concise and answer the query for it to get more than a glance. The advantage of designing a responsive website at the outset is that what is irrelevant to the mobile users, is irrelevant to desktop users too, and hence can be pruned altogether from the website.<\/p>\n Ergonomic navigation is essential on mobile devices mainly due to the space constraint. The mobile user experience has to be a priority and what must be visible to the visitor when they first load the website.<\/p>\n The menu must be thought through to ensure that all the items are visible without too much scrolling. A sticky menu is a feasible option as it must be visible at all times at the top of the page. Similarly, the sidebars must be placed in such a manner that the content is not pushed down on narrow screens.<\/p>\n The graphic alters on diverse criteria based on HD or Non-HD display and accordingly the icons and logos will have to be recreated from a larger source file.<\/p>\n The problem with mobile devices is the varying network connection and the poor site speed. As per a study, 74% mobile users leave after waiting 5 seconds<\/a><\/strong> for a page to load. It is better to use a small amount of multimedia content for the mobile version of the website.<\/p>\n<\/span>Marking the content that matters<\/span><\/h2>\n
