Responsive design – final check-list. Part 3

Welcome to our last post for the responsive design series. If you missed our previous posts, be sure to check them out here.

In this post we will provide you with a check-list of things you need to consider when making your website responsive.

1. Lighten the load
Make sure our website is fast when being loaded. According to Google, around 70% of mobile users will leave a page if it takes more than 5 seconds to load. Make sure the images you use on the website are compressed as much as possible to allow short loading times.

2. Make it touch screen friendly
When using fingers to navigate around websites you are less precise than when using a mouse. Make sure the buttons on the site are big and easy to spot. Allow your content to interact with the device it is being seen on.

3. Be clearly readable
Smaller screens mean smaller fonts, make sure you choose a font that is just as clear when being read on a big desktop pc or on a smartphone.

4. Be shareable
Enable shareable content for users to quickly like, comment and share to other users from any device and across platforms.

5. Stack elements
Work out which elements are important for your users when accessing your site on the go and make sure all your core information is there.

If you feel like your website needs a makeover or isn’t responsive enough then get in touch and see if we can work with you.
