How it works
Responsive sites use flexible layouts, images that scale and CSS rules called media queries. When the screen gets narrower, the layout changes. Three columns become one, navigation moves behind a menu button and images shrink to fit.
- DesktopThree columns of services side by side with a full menu.
- TabletTwo columns, with a shorter menu and larger tap targets.
- PhoneOne column, a menu button and a call button in reach.
Why it matters for search
Google indexes the mobile version of your pages. With a responsive site, the mobile version is the same page with the same content, so Google sees everything. Older setups with a separate mobile site at a different address need extra care to keep content and tags matched.
Responsive is not enough on its own
A layout can technically fit a phone and still work badly. Check these too.
- Text is readable without zooming.
- Buttons are big and spaced for thumbs.
- Forms use the right keyboard for phone and email fields.
- Nothing important hides on small screens.
- Images do not load at desktop size on phones.
Good example. A gym's class schedule turns into a simple list on phones, with a book button on each class.
Bad example. The same schedule shrinks into a tiny table that visitors must pinch and drag to read.
How we build it
We design the phone layout first, then expand for larger screens. That keeps the most important content and actions at the top, where phone visitors need them.
