A website can be designed in one of two ways: Standard or Responsive.
A responsive website has a flexible layout which will adapt to the device it is viewed on (smartphones, tablets, computers). The advantage is an optimised user experience on all devices. A mobile friendly website will also be given preference in Google rankings when a user is searching on a mobile device. A responsive design is therefore recommended, although it is slightly more expensive.
Want to save on costs? Then a standard website may be the best starter option for you and may be converted at a later stage. A standard website is optimised for laptops and desktop computers, but can still be viewed on a smartphone.
So what happens when you need to make changes?
We offer two options:
