It is no question that mobile responsive website designs are favored by users over their non-responsive counterparts. In a nutshell, this is because a website that can easily be viewed from a computer, a tablet, or a phone. Making the visitor happier with the site and more likely to return. Sites that don’t move from platform to platform as easily, don’t load as quickly, can be frustrating overall and less likely to gain viewership.

Mobile responsive websites have a uniquely flexible design that cuts time spent working on layouts and choosing platforms in half. Most designs have features that allow designers to turn on and off what platforms they choose to use, and have a means of viewing how the layouts look across those different platforms. Thus, the designer has the ability to spot check and improve upon what works or doesn’t work between the platforms, and provide a cohesive design across the board.

Responsive designs already have built-in a means to share the site on social media, whether by share buttons or by linking the site to pages built on social media. Combine those features with the ability to view the site on any tech platform, and you have a guaranteed win-win situation. The sharing possibilities are endless!

Because responsive website designs tend to be an all-in-one deal, encompassing a variety of platforms to view the site, analytics for the site are simplified down to one set of data to view. Yes, you can look at the different platforms and how each one is doing, but all of the data is found in one place!
