How Responsive Website Design WorksA website is made up of a set of files that contain HTML code and content–typically text and images. These files are viewed in the form of webpages, such as a home page, about page, blog, etc. A standard (non-responsive) website has a set of files and a few files that govern the look of the site. However, a responsive website applies an alternate set of files depending on the device used to access the website—such as a laptop or mobile phone. The website looks and “responds” differently depending on the device someone uses.

 

Someone viewing the website from a desktop device, like a laptop, might see a horizontal navigation menu, while a mobile user sees a vertical navigation menu with larger text. This difference makes it easier for a mobile user to view and interact with the website on a smaller screen for a better overall user experience.

 

Why Responsive Website Design Is ImportantWhile people used to access websites solely from a desktop computer with a similar size monitor, today people view websites from a variety of devices, and websites need to be adaptive. Whether a user is viewing a website from a huge 25” monitor or a small mobile phone screen, they still expect a clean, responsive website that responds to each touch or mouse click.

 

Additionally, different devices create different expectations in terms of usability. For example, on mobile phones, Apple has “trained” people to swipe left, right, up, and down. Those visiting a website from a smartphone expect to be able to click on a listed phone number and be taken to their phone’s calling function to auto-dial that number. Likewise, when an address is listed, smartphone users expect that they can click on that address and be taken to their phone’s map function to get directions to the location using their built-in GPS.

 

A responsive website automatically takes into account the type of device that a visitor is using and provides the best possible user experience with subtle adjustments that enhance each site visit.
