Responsive design is the newest way of designing websites for multiple devices. Almost every one wants a mobile version of their website. With the number of visitors using handheld devices it’s practically essential. However having separate websites for the BlackBerry, another for the iPhone, the iPad, netbook, Kindle is seemingly ridiculous.

There are so many devices these days that creating mobile sites for each is a daunting task. For many websites, creating a website version for each resolution and new device would be impossible, or at least impractical. There is of course a solution for this now, this is how responsive design was born. Responsive design shifts the layout of the site based on the size of the display window. This site is responsive… make the window smaller and see what happens. You will see text move, graphics shift and if you get it small enough it shifts to a mobile view.

Responsive design should not be confused with having a mobile site, the two are very different. A mobile site is separate, typically needs updating, and usually does not reflect the design and character of the main site. Responsive design uses the same code, it just modifies it for the size of the window.

While responsive design is very cool, it is something that you need to build into your website from the beginning. It is near impossible to add responsive to an existing website without rebuilding the website.

Our team designs your responsive site along side your website. So when it comes to launch your site looks great no matter what device you view it on.
