Does your Business have a Responsive Website?<\/em><\/span>\u00a0 this is a key\u00a0question you should be asking yourself.<\/p>\n

If you answered “No” then read on.<\/p>\n

In today’s marketplace if you are still relying on Yellow Pages phone book advertising, the local newspaper or worse still the local letterbox distributor, and you don’t have a standard or responsive web site, then you can’t be serious about your business. \u00a0If you want to stay in business and increase your customer base, then you need to get serious about getting a responsive web site for your business.<\/p>\n

What is a\u00a0Responsive Website?\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Well simply put; it is a website that is built with the ‘mobile first’ approach. That is that the website is designed for all three screen types, mobile, tablet and monitor.<\/p>\n

I am sure you’ve seen what is going on around you… mobile phones are everywhere – people just can\u2019t put them down,\u00a0 in the supermarket, on the train, even walking around. If you look around right now you\u2019re likely to see someone nose down using a mobile phone.<\/p>\n

Would it surprise you to know that these same people are using their mobile phones to search for businesses just like yours?<\/p>\n

In fact 1 out of every 5 searches is now done on a mobile device and over 30% of those searches are done by people looking for a business or service in their local area.<\/p>\n

And amazingly 52% of local mobile searches actually result in a call to a local business.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But what happens when these new customers looking to buy click on the link to your site?\u00a0 If your website isn’t mobile optimised they have to scroll up and down \u00a0– zoom in and out – and become frustrated very quickly.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s worse \u2013 they\u2019ll simply leave your site and go to a competitor who has made their site easy to use on their mobile phone.\u00a0\u00a0 The fact is … 99% of the people that leave your website<\/strong> because they couldn’t use it on their mobile or tablet and they will never come back.<\/p>\n

And things are only going to get worse for you – estimates \u00a0as far back as 2010\u00a0showed that the number of mobile searches would surpass desk top searches.<\/p>\n

So, don\u2019t put up a road block between you and your new customers.\u00a0 Instead, put out the welcome mat and get your site responsive.<\/p>\n
