A responsive site: why the mobile version decides everything 

photo soon

Most visitors come from a phone. If the site is awkward on mobile, you lose most clients and Google rankings.

«Responsive» means the site is equally convenient on any screen — from a big monitor to a smartphone. It's no longer an option but the norm: most people first see your site on a phone, often on the go.

Google judges the mobile version first

Google switched to mobile-first long ago: it ranks a site by its mobile version, not the desktop one. If it's awkward on a phone, rankings drop even for those searching from a computer.

Signs of poor responsiveness

Tiny buttons hard to hit with a finger. Text you have to zoom in. Images that «spill» off-screen. A form that's awkward to fill. Horizontal scroll. Each of these little things is a lost lead.

Our approach

At RADOBO we design mobile-first: first how it works on a phone, then scale up to big screens. We test on real devices, not just in a browser. The site must sell equally well on a top iPhone and an old Android.
