Is Your Website Mobile Friendly?
We use “mobile first” responsive design to ensure that a smart phone user can use your website when they are ready.
- Appropriately sized tap targets – does your finger fit on the link you want to select?
- Is the menu easily available and simple to navigate?
- One click dialing. When someone clicks on your phone number on the website, their phone automatically switches to the phone app and is ready to dial the phone number with just one click.
- Web responsive design makes your website easy to use on any device…a mobile phone, tablet or a computer.

Just One Website to Manage.
When the smartphone market was small, a secondary mobile site was often recommended by website developers. Frequently a scaled down version of your other content, the mobile only site is a thing of the past. Not only do you have multiple sites to manage – at a higher cost – but increasingly, mobile devices are the primary way people visit your site.
We utilize mobile-first responsive design, so you have a single website that is designed to ensure that it works with any device your customer may be using. One website – easier to update and keep current. And you need to be current and up to date, because smartphones are a big part of the buying decision today.
79% of smartphone owners use their phone for shopping and 84% of them use their phones while in a retail location.
