Websites for mobile phones

and responsive web design

So your website looks great on a PC or Mac – but how does it look on a mobile phone? And what about on an iPad? As users turn to smaller devices to browse the Internet it’s becoming increasingly important to ensure that your website looks good and works well on all screen sizes. If not, your potential customer will get frustrated and look elsewhere.

Two options for optimising your site for different screen sizes

  • A responsive website is a single website with a 'fluid' structure which resizes automatically for different screen sizes.
  • A mobile website has a mobile web design, created especially for mobile phone screens and is additional to your main website.

If you’re not sure which option is best for your website, get in touch and we’ll be happy to advise.

Responsive web design

A responsive web design gives you the confidence that your website will look good no matter what device it is viewed on. The website automatically adapts to the screen size so you only need one design for your site. This is the option we recommend for most businesses and we now build all of our websites using this method. The benefits of our responsive web design include:

  • It resizes automatically for all screen sizes from computer monitors to mobile phones
  • All the website is viewable - not just selected pages
  • It is ideal for sites with regular new content such as blogs

Mobile websites (Mobile web apps)

A mobile website is an alternative version of your main website. It can be set up so that when someone accesses your website from a mobile phone, the site automatically defaults to the mobile version.

Websites for mobile phones are usually a slimmed-down version of the main site, showing only the most important pages. The main advantage is that the slimmed-down site will load more quickly on slow mobile phone connections than your full website would. The benefits of our mobile phone website designs include:

  • Pages that are optimised for mobile phone screen sizes
  • Only essential pages are included so loading time is much quicker
  • The user has the option to view the full website
  • Features for mobiles like one-click for your customers to call you
