Mobile Website Design

Based in Windsor, we are a small web design agency offering professional mobile website design for businesses in Berkshire.

We care about how your website looks. We think you should dazzle not only on laptops, but on mobile and tablet too. We are mobile web designers who can make sure your website works just as well on the go as it does on desktop.

We create mobile friendly websites

More and more people are using their mobiles and tablets to browse the web, use apps, shop online and chat via social networks.

Whilst these potential customers may be able to see your desktop website on their phone it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s mobile friendly. If mobile customers are unable to read and navigate your site with ease, contact you or make a purchase then your current website could be letting you down and losing you business.

To tap into this ever growing pool of mobile customers it is crucial that your website delivers a mobile friendly experience. One that:

Is quick to load, read and use.
Makes it easy to make a purchase or get in touch with you.
Is simple to navigate through a clear hierarchy of content
Helps people find your local store or office

We can help convert an existing website into a mobile site or design and build a mobile friendly website from scratch. We will also make sure the right kind of mobile content is available, all in an easily accessible format.

Responsive web design

Responsive web design technology cleverly adapts your website to the user’s screen size. Meaning your website will look good and work well for your visitors no matter what mobile device they are using.

It makes sure your website knows when it is being viewed on a mobile phone or tablet. It then uses media queries to find out the resolution of the device it’s being served on and uses flexible images and fluid grids to re-size to fit the screen.

In other words, images shrink to fit the viewing area, layout changes to a single column of content that uses a legible font size. The content of the sidebar might move to the bottom of the column or disappear altogether.

With a responsive web design you:

Create an enjoyable, fluid mobile experience for your visitors.
Reach a much wider audience than you would with an unresponsive website.
Know that you only have to build a website once in order for it to work seamlessly across hundreds of different screens.

Why go mobile

There are a number of increasingly important benefits of designing with mobile in mind.

To keep ahead of the competition

More and more of your visitors are using mobile devices to view your website. If they find any difficulty in using it on their mobile they”ll be off to find one that is easier to use. This is dangerous as a large chunk of your potential customers could end up on a competitor’s mobile friendly website.

To maintain a high ranking in mobile search results

Google recently announced their mobile friendliness update coming into effect from 21 April 2015. This means that a website misconfigured for smartphone users will take a hit in mobile searches. Through adopting a responsive website design you’ll not only be enhancing the user experience of your website, but satisfying a quality criteria demanded by the most popular search engine.

Because mobile and tablet usage is growing (massively)

Mobile and tablet usage is seeing massive growth with sales of tablets set to outstrip laptops and desktops by 2015.
