12 Advantages of Responsive Web Design

Better User (UX) Experience
A website which scales and responds to the screen size of the user who is accessing it provides a quality User (UX) Experience.
Sites which are hard to navigate or the user is forced to pinch or zoom the screen to see your content lose visitors and have less time spent on the pages.
A quality customer UX and usability leads to more time on the site, higher word of mouth referrals and ultimately more customers for your business.

More Mobile Traffic
With statistics showing 52%n of all global web traffic coming from mobile devices, responsive websitesย are no longer a luxury; they are a necessity.ย
Regardless of how many visitors are currently coming from mobile sources, a responsive site will increase mobile visits and longer time on site per visitor.

Easy Site Development
Until responsive websites became the industry standard, it was common practiceย to build a mobile version of your company’s website.
Mobile sites made the development process more expensive and longer.
Responsive websites eliminated the need for developing two separate websites for your company or brand.

Lower Bounce Rate
A bounce rate is the percentage of visitors which leave after seeing one page. The longer a visitor stays on your site and clicks through the page to look at your content, the more effective your website will be for your business or brand.
Responsive websites reduce your bounce rates by making your site simpler to navigate, more intuitiveย and more engaging on each screen type.

Avoids Duplicate Content
A business with a mobile and desktop version of their site has several issues.
One issue is the duplicate content penalty. A company with two versions of theirย site confuse search engines, they don’t know which site’s content is most relevant.
This confusion causes both versions to rank lower than a responsive website.
Rank higher and keep from confusing both customers & search engines with one responsive website.

Improved Load Times
Thanks to their responsive images and fluid framework, websites which are responsive to all devices tend to load faster.
With 53% of mobile visitors abandoning a site taking longer than 3 sec to load, responsive websites with fast load times keep visitors longer and improve conversion rates.
This speaks volumes for the importance of a responsive website design for your business or brand.

Simpler Analytics
Instead of tracking two distinct versions of your site and tracking where your visitors are coming from, a responsive site simplifies your stats.
Instead of keeping track of multiple sign-up and thank you pages, funnels and conversion points, responsiveย websites let you have one analytics dataset.
We can read one report to see where traffic is coming and avoid the confusion multiple reports can create.

Improved Maintenance
Along with the faster development of new websites, responsive websites are easier to maintain.
The elimination of a mobile site allows digital marketing companies like Illini Marketing Consultants to focus on more profit-generating efforts like
- Content development
- Marketing
- A/B testing

Theย more mobile-friendly your website, search engines will increase the ranking.ย ย

More Social Shares
Another benefit of responsive design is the ability to share your content with social media platforms.
This social signaling impacts your search engineย ranking through increase engagement and
Responsive websites featuringย great content and social sharing buttons can expose you to a new audience and increase your credibility as well.

Better BackLinks
Backlinks are an essential part of any SEO strategy. Responsive websites are more likely to be linked to by other sites since they provide a good user (UX) experience.
Search engines like you to be linked to other websites; it makes you look like a reputableย source of information.
Since content is a significant factor for search rankings, the more backlinks you can generate, the high your ranking will climb.

More Conversions
Reducing your bounce rate and keeping your visitors on your website longer are the first steps in improving the user (UX) experience.
A better UX increases the conversion rate of your site.
