So, just why is the future success of your business based on you having a great looking, responsive website design? Before you go thinking that this is all hype, consider a few facts. 77% of all North Americans use the internet and 70% of the people have used the internet to search for a business in the past 12 months. The truth is people now look online to find local businesses, service providers, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops more than any other type of directory or advertising medium.

But, it is not enough to simply have a regular old website, because now the way that people are using and viewing the internet is changing. According to Pew Research, 90% of adults have a cell phone.

Mark: Could you mention some companies that have been responsive to the new way of creating website design, so it will fit different screens / devices?

Fantastic article and I totally agree. I think that a lot of business shy away from mobile responsive designs because they don't feel that it's as effective or the design of the mobile website is as appealing as the original, but when it comes to a sales standpoints. You really can't afford to be picky.

Hi Mark,

Responsive design is definitely preferred by search engines like Google. One things for sure. You need a strategy as more and more traffic is coming from mobile devices these days. Thanks so much for sharing!
