When it comes to mobile, the numbers get interesting. There are over 1 million more mobile devices activated every day across the world than there are babies born.
In the US, 25% of Internet users are mobile only. 91% of all U.S. citizens have their mobile device within reach 24/7
Most of us agree that in order to survive, our business must embrace mobile.
Different Strokes, Still The Same Folks
But, there is another surprising element. The latest research from Google tells us that “90% of people move between devices to accomplish a goal, whether that’s on smartphones, PCs, tablets or TV.”
They may begin reading content and viewing videos from their desktop computers at work, and then look for the same business on their smartphones during lunch where they can continue their research into products and services uninterrupted.
With a responsive website, businesses can be in front of consumers at every step of their online journey.
Responsive websites mean that the same website will present an optimized layout regardless of which device it finds itself being loaded in.
Responsive Design in the Future
One thing is certain, you don’t want to fall behind and watch your competitors launch responsive websites while yours is still stuck in 2010. The time to get responsive with your web design is now.
