In this article, we are going to talk about one of the most important pillars Website design and a hundred. Let’s talk about the responsiveness of the website. First, let’s get to know a little more about this feature and the concept of responsive websites and have some explanations about it.
Maybe in the early 80s, even the idea of being able to connect to the Internet and surf the web with mobile phones, tablets or even TV was more like a dream! But thanks to the advancement of technology and its ease of use, and of course the availability of the Internet without location restrictions, you can connect to this vast network and use its facilities with the help of any device that has the ability to connect to the Internet. However, it is clear that only the ability to connect is not enough and it is necessary to be able to benefit from the website’s facilities.
Without reactivity, it will not be possible to use a website or even an application. In this article, we will fully discuss the features and descriptions of responsive websites and we will talk about responsive applications in a separate article.
What is Responsive?
In general, the response of the website to the image size of any device is called responsive or responsive. For example, when you enter a site with your mobile phone, the look and feel of the site, the size of the fonts, the type of layout and all the visual elements, even the menu of the site, are different than when you enter with a laptop, tablet or any other device.
If your website works correctly in all three main sizes defined for responsive (mobile, tablet, computer), you have a responsive website, and otherwise, even if for one If the defined sizes do not work correctly, you do not have a responsive site.
The main sizes are:
- Mobile: Height:625-wight:360
- Tablet: Height:625-Wight:768
- Computer (desktop): Height: 682-wight: 1748
The importance of responsiveness to the audience
Certainly, contacts and even employers are not aware of the terms of the site. But due to the experience of working with different sites and personal perception of whether the website is good or bad (user judgment), it will have impressions of the quality of your work. The audience does not care whether the website was designed by your store or by some company or person.
As it does not care about your logo designer or even your decor; Because all these are considered by your taste and behavior, and if these events are beautiful and correct, it is a positive point for your business, otherwise, they will have a negative view. So paying attention to which person or company you receive services from is very important for the quality of your brand.
Responsive mobile
When the audience enters your website, if they feel that they are dealing with a busy, disorganized, complicated or even too simple website, they will have this impression of your entire brand and business. Imagine that the visitor of your site decided to enter your site using his mobile phone, and your site is not responsive.
In the best case, after refreshing the site one or two times, hoping that the problem is from his own internet, he will try to enter or fix your site. But do you think the audience will give up their mobile phone and try to communicate with a laptop or another device? Definitely not! Because you have many competitors and no audience needs you and in fact you are the one who needs your audience and customers.
When is the non-responsiveness of the site justified?
Non-responsiveness can be justified only in one case; that you are an Iranian government site and do not care about issues other than security. Of course, the fact that there is no other site (lack of competition) for government affairs is not unaffected in this matter. Of course, since the early 1990s, the quality of websites with payment gateways such as My Tehran site (purchase of car plans, annual municipal fees, and similar items), bank websites, SIM card operator websites, and similar items have become responsive, which is obviously not a reason to explain why they are responsive.
Television reactionism
So, as much as the design of the website, speed, ease of use and security are important for website visitors, the responsiveness of the website also plays an important role. Of course, the importance and strictness of the Google search engine in this regard cannot be ignored. One of the most important and obvious rules of Google is the correct responsiveness of the website. According to the latest content mentioned by google search console in early 2020, there is still no need to make websites responsive for televisions. But to the extent that Google considered this matter important and expressed it, it will be a sign of the future of the Internet in televisions.
Responsive website standards
In general, every responsive website should have general items. But if you have a license to use all the features of the Google Console, like the Seo Gelavizh team, you can read the important things and even ask Google to help you improve the responsiveness of your website. Otherwise, we will remind you of some points, or you can contact Gelavizh company to find out about the quality status of your website in all matters of SEO and your website.
The important things that we will mention below are considered based on your ability to design the website.
1: Size of fonts
2: The line spacing of the writings
3: Size and arrangement of website photos
4: The correct size of the site header (menu, logo and other items you put in the header)
5: Correct size and placement of icons
6: Ability to display correctly in vertical and horizontal display (landscape/portrait)
7: Distances between elements
8: Display enough information without scrolling the page
9: No skipping of the site if the browser is reduced or enlarged
10: The correct display of the site in the most used browsers (safari, chrome, firefox)
These 10 items are important factors of responsive site. Of course, there are more. Such as folding menus (hamburgers) on mobile and tablets, correct site display and correct distances in 13-inch sizes to ultra-wide desktops and many other things.
Summary
In today’s world, with the variety of smart devices and multiple ways to access the internet, responsive web design has become a fundamental pillar for the success of any website. A responsive site intelligently adapts to the screen size of various devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and desktops, providing a seamless, simple, and satisfying user experience.
