Responsive Website

Phones, tablets, desktops and laptops; your website should look great on each screen size and device so that no matter what your customers used to access your website they can navigate it easily and quickly.

Good Looking Websites in Any Screen Size

Ensuring that a website will conform neatly to a variety of screen sizes from a full high definition width 1920×1080 pixel display down to a phone with a comparatively narrow screen is the best way to give everyone that visits the website a pleasing experience. Google particularly favors mobile optimized design and will give websites that meet this criteria better positioning for people who are using a mobile device so search for things.

Responsive Design and Screen Sizes

There’s no one best screen size to design for. Websites should transform responsively and fast at all screen resolutions on different browsers and platforms. Accessible. Mobile-friendly. Design for your audience, first. Design from 360×640 through 1920×1080.

Also:

  • Design for desktop displays from 1024×768 through 1920×1080
  • Design for mobile displays from 360×640 through 414×896
  • Design for tablet displays from 601×962 through 1280×800
  • Check Google Analytics and optimise for your target audience’s most common resolution sizes
  • Do not design for one monitor size or screen resolution. Screen sizes and browser window state vary among visitors.
  • Design should be responsive and fast. Use a liquid or responsive layout that transforms to the current user’s window size.
  • Monitor Google Search Console mobile-friendly and usability alerts
