With the growing businesses, the expectations of customers are constantly growing with them. With almost everyone owning a smartphone today, accessing Internet from a smartphone is a common practice now – nothing uncanny here.
There are more mobile users now than ever and the number is rising, even as we discuss it here. This is one of the reasons why shift to responsive websites has become a necessity. If a visitor is using mobile phone for accessing a particular website that is not mobile-friendly, chances are they will not go any further than the homepage.
In order to ensure that the content on page is similar regardless of the device used to access it, there is a dire need of converting a static, html, website into a responsive website. Here are a few tips and tricks to live by:
Tip#1: When you are to switch to responsive, it would call for a lot effort. Choosing a framework, like Foundation and Twitter Bootstrap can help you out in this regard. You can modify using these without having to do it from the scratch.
Tip#2: Review everything about converting the fixed width and don’t forget the meta tags, establishing breakpoints to trigger CSS style rules and other components to help you convert the code for the site.
Tip#3: Once you are done, perhaps best practice is to test it on your own on multiple devices to see if it has been implemented successfully. Use a tablet, a smartphone, phablet, and various devices to see how it fits the screen.
Tips#4: While text can be one aspect, other aspects include the image and video placements. It is best to have responsive images set accordingly as well. A performance-optimized approach can come in handy here as it employs various sizes of the images to be considered for different devices.
Utilize the resources available to you and see what matters most before you go responsive. Strengthen that mobile presence right away!
