Responsive design in a website means that the code used to
design or develop it has been created so that a web site automatically adapts
the size of a screen. A web site will display
correctly in a phone, tablet, or computer.
How do you know if your web site is responsive?
Take a look at your web site in your smart phone and on your
tablet or IPad. If parts of the site are
cut off or if you need to move all over the place to get to links or parts of
the navigation bar then you will know that your web site is not responsive.
If you can see the entire homepage and all the navigation
bars you know that you have a responsive web site.
Why does it matter?
More and more people are doing research using tablets and
phones and you may have even noticed that the latest computers are a tablet/pc
combination so this means that you are losing prospects and frustrating clients
every time that your web site is accessed via these devises and the result is
difficult a difficult to read and navigate site.
So you need to ask yourself what is the cost of losing
customers and prospects vs. getting your web site re-designed to be a responsive
web site. Rather than worrying about the
cost of the re-design, you may want to capitalize right now and move the bar
for your business buy doing what your competitors are not doing, making it
easier to buy from you while the others frustrate them.
A few more important things to know about responsive web
design:
Responsive web sites can be made in WordPress, HTML, and
many other programs.
There are many responsive themes and templates available in
many of the popular web site platforms.
These themes and templates are not as easy to install and customize
as non-responsive web themes and it is easier for novices to mess up the very
code that makes them responsive.
It is wisest to have a professional install and set it up
for you and you do the content updates.
How much does it cost to get a responsive web site designed?
As with all design work, it much depends on what we,
designers, are asked to do. Obviously a completely custom designed professional
web site that is responsive is going to run about $2000.
On the other hand, if you or we can find a highly
customizable responsive template or theme the price range drops dramatically to
an average of $300 to $500.
Also, take a look at our Promotions page on our web site. Every month we will feature two to three
highly customizable themes or templates that we can make into an amazing responsive
website at incredibly low rates.
