It's time to pay attention to Google's moves to encourage responsive web design. They previously told us that they would factor in mobile friendliness to their search algorithm. Now, they're increasing the strength of that ranking.

Getting good search position is so competitive now that you really can't afford to overlook any factors when you work on your healthy online presence. Mobile friendliness is now one of the more significant factors. To make sure your website design is mobile friendly, check with your webmaster. Ask if your site is "mobile-optimized" or "responsive."

A mobile optimized website design is one that can distinguish between laptop, desktop, tablet and smartphone, and show you a site designed for that particular platform. Basically, there's a separate design for tablets and mobile.

Responsive Web Design 

A responsive design is one that responds to the type of device you're using. The design "responds" to changes in the size and orientation of the viewer, so rather than there being multiple designs, there is a design whose parameters change as the parameters of the viewer change.

At SEO Ann Arbor, website design is done using responsive technology. Whichever your webmaster recommends, be sure you get it done soon ... or you could lose search position!
