two versions of a website, like one for mobile phones and another for desktop
computers.
Why do we need Responsive Website Design?
Time & Money
Some people think that it would cost a lot to make a responsive website.
Though it is true that a responsive website can cost more than a conventional
website, the expenses involved in duplicating a website for other devices are
eliminated entirety. This results in a significant reduction of total
development costs. Moreover, a responsive design reduces the total cost of
ownership by removing the effort to maintain various versions of a website,
such as a version for desktop computers and one for mobile devices. Therefore,
investing in responsive design is a smart decision and long-term solution.
Pervasion of Mobile
Devices
The Internet traffic that comes from mobile gadgets is significantly
increasing each day. Since a lot of people are using their tablets and
smartphones to browse the web, it is certainly foolish for a website publisher
to disregard the importance of responsive website design. Soon the standard
will be "One Size Fits All Devices".
User experience
Though content and its ability to be found are the primary metrics of success,
it is the user experience that lets visitors use content on websites by means
of the device they choose. Therefore, responsive website design is all about
offering an optimal user experience regardless of the device used, whether it
is a desktop computer, tablet, smart-TV or smartphone.
Agnostic to Devices
Responsive websites are not tied to particular devices and their operating
systems. Responsive website design guarantees that users obtain the best,
reliable experience of a website on whatever device they prefer to use, whether
it is an iPad, iPhone, Windows OS or smartphones running Android OS, among
others. Therefore, content publishers and website owners do not have to build other
versions of their site for different device platforms that viewers might be
using.
The Way Forward
As a result, instead of dividing website content into different experiences for
specific devices, it is wiser to take on the responsive website design method.
However, this does not mean that there is no business case for other sites
aimed at specific devices. For instance, if content viewed on a mobile device
is limited compared to when it is viewed on its desktop counterpart, the best
approach is to serve different content to each.
Nevertheless, this way of design-thinking need not be our
default. At present, digital content is intended to be viewed on a wide range
of experiences and responsive design offers the away ahead.
