We want our customers to be the first to know.
Google is releasing a new search algorithm update on April 21st that will start punishing non-mobile friendly websites in search results.
For our customers who have already invested in responsive design, you can breathe a “SAI” of relief. You might even see a boost in your website visits through search!
For those who have not yet considered this investment, now is the perfect time to start planning your upgrade.
Mobile search statistics are rising.
More and more users are accessing the web via mobile, which is why Google is making this kind of shift. Our top five most visited websites see about 36,000 visits each month from various industries. Non-desktop browsers account for 49% (almost half!) of that traffic, with mobile devices used three times more than tablets. Mobile use is growing quarter over quarter for almost every one of our customers.
Implementing Responsive Design means that your visitors from any sized device see your content perfectly with no zooming, pinching, or scrolling. Imagine comfortably reading your website on the palm of your hand!
Not sure how your site holds up? Want to test our work?
Google has set up a simple way to test your website’s mobile-friendliness through their webmaster tools. Simply paste your website URL in the tool and it will instantly analyze and let you know if your site makes the grade. If you’d like to know how your visitors are accessing your site, contact us for quick review of your site statistics.
