A\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span>responsive website design is a site whose design is programmed to automatically adapt to different formats of digital devices: from computer screens to laptops, smart phones and tablets.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nThe main advantage of a responsive design, for your website visitors, is that they can surf and comfortably view the same website using a wide range of devices, without having to scroll horizontally or laterally, zoom in and zoom out of the content, which actions greatly depreciate the user experience.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n![\"responsive](\"https:\/\/www.vcdweb.com\/vcdmarketing\/uploads\/2019\/03\/site-adpatatif-divers-persona.jpg\")
<\/strong><\/p>\nHere are just 3 stats that show the importance of responsive websites<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/strong>These three statistics from 2018 on the use of mobile phones to access the internet show the importance for a company or an organization to have a responsive website:<\/p>\n\n- 86% of Canadians<\/strong><\/span> have a mobile phone; we are talking 30 million individuals;<\/li>\n

A responsive website allows you to make your information easily accessible to your visitors via their mobile devices; that engagement increases the odds in your favor for business development purposes.<\/p>\n

a responsive website means that your organization or company is technologically “connected” and in tune with its client base and industry needs.<\/p>\nAnd what’s more, it’s an important SEO criteria for Google<\/strong><\/p>\nIn addition to the above stats and factors, since 2015, Google officially priorizes mobile-responsive websites in its search results.
