Professional Mobile Responsive Web Design

A mobile website built on a responsive design is exactly the same, in principle, to any other website, but there are four key differences:

1. Mobile devices, especially mobile phones, have smaller screens than PC screens, therefore a mobile website needs to be optimised to fit the smaller, narrower dimensions and lower resolutions of a mobile device.
    
2. Having a mobile website means having a single site that copes with any device. This requires a website built around a responsive design.
    
3. 3G (third generation) mobile phones today enjoy greatly increased download speeds than their older predecessors. However in most cases this is still slower and certainly less predictable than PC-based broadband. Mobile websites must therefore be optimised for easy and fast downloads on slower mobile connections.
    
4. Any company that has both a PC Desktop and Mobile website will require specific coding to allow each site to identify what platform the visitor is using to view their site. This allows the responsive design to automatically detect the viewing device and  adapt itself to ensure the visitor receives the best experience for their platform.

There are three elements required for a successful mobile website.
 

1. You will need a mobile website built around a fully responsive web design. The good news is that we provide exactly that!
    
2. You will need to be able to modify your mobile content separately to your desktop content but in a single and simple management system. 21CMS provides the ability to edit your desktop and mobile pages separately, but within the same interface.
    
3. You will need a knowledgeable and professional mobile responsive web design company that understands the issues associated with responsive web design. The DG Group has been at the forefront of mobile web technologies, delivering our first mobile website in 2008 and now, unlike other web design companies, we provide a responsive web design as standard with every website project we deliver.

Every business needs a website these days and despite the fact that the concept of mobile websites is relatively new, literally any company can benefit from having a website designed for mobile phones. Consider the following simple examples:

• Estate Agents - can post the latest hot properties.
• Car Dealers – can post the deal/s of the week.
• Fitness clubs - can post class schedules.
• Restaurants – can post seasonal menus/weekly specials.
• Locksmiths - can list after-hours contact numbers.
• Plumbers - can list rates and hot line numbers.
• Bars – can promote theme nights and new cocktails.
• Hairdressers - can post the latest treatments & offers.
• Gift shops - can run weekly coupons.
• Local newspapers - can offer a sponsored news digest.
• Tourist Attractions - can post opening times, directions and special offers.

This would make your important customer and promotional information available to people on the move. So as you can see, it's not just large corporate companies that can benefit from a mobile website.

The DG Group does not use Open Source software in any of the website projects we provide our customers. Many web design companies will disagree, but it is our opinion that Open Source software is less secure and most definitely less user-friendly than built-for-purpose proprietary software. Instead we use our own in-house developed, simple, secure and feature-packed "21CMS" system. Click the logo above to find out more.

Where many other web design companies will create sites that need specialist knowledge to update the content, The DG Group provides a content management system with every web site we design. We do this because we are focused on providing you with the more important aspects of marketing your business rather than simply charging you to make small text changes to your website.
