Non-Responsive Websites Hemorrhage Money

June 24, 2014

If you still have a non-responsive website–that is, a website that doesn’t re-adjust automatically for easy viewing on mobile and all other devices–I’ll make a bold prediction here: you are leaving wads of Ben Franklins on the table.

The world is going mobile at warp speed seven. Webmasters who don’t honor the change and get aboard are fast becoming dinosaurs in the industry.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS INSIST THAT YOUR WEB DEVELOPER CREATE A RESPONSIVE WEBSITE FOR YOU.

If they can’t explain to you what that is, they don’t know.

If they try to talking you into accepting a non-responsive site, saying, “All a mobile user has to do it scroll back and forth to get the information from your site,” run! Run far away, fast!

Because chances are good (no, great!) that your competitors all have responsive sites, or will soon, and visitors to your site will quickly lose patience after they’ve scrolled themselves silly trying to get the information they need off yours.

Make your visitors comfortable and happy or they will find someone else doing pretty much the same thing as you are who will.
