Why Upgrade
Many ask why they should upgrade their aging website and opt for a new one – there are many reasons….

Websites Age

Times are changing now as they always have been, the fact is websites age, what was great in 1998 was bad in 2002 and what was great in 2002 was obsolete by 2008 and so on we go, arriving at the present date.
Websites age and as technologies change antiquated websites begin to cause errors in modern browsers, fail to get found in searches and above all else – load improperly on modern mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.

The mobile migration

Everyone knows the story of smartphones, they began as a geek toy and business appendage and grew to become an everyday accessory for most humans alive on earth – but what does this mean for business?
It means informed consumers, it means consumers “googling” on the go, it means businesses need to cater to this new form of customer or run the risk of losing out on a potential goldmine of business – or worse yet, just losing business.

The big problem

The problem is, most business websites were developed for desktop computers, while these sites may display fantastic on those platforms where they often fall flat for mobile visitors.
Mobile visitors are often presented with sites that load poorly, act buggy or are missing features, this means lost customers – as they browse onto someone else’s website that loads.
This is the problem businesses, large and small, are still grappling with…

Changing Times

According to the Associated Press, “The revised formula”, will favor websites that Google defines as “mobile-friendly”.
Websites that don’t fit the description will be demoted in Google’s search results on smartphones and tablets while those meeting the criteria will be more likely to appear at the top of the rankings–a prized position that can translate into more visitors and money.
Although Google’s new formula won’t affect searches on desktop and laptop computers, it will have a huge influence on how and where people spend their money, given that more people are relying on their smartphones to compare products in stores and look for restaurants.
When a consumer uses their mobile device to search Google for the terms “Laundromats,” or “Italian restaurant” or “Pizza,” the search results will display the closest business that matches that criteria.
By 2019, mobile advertising will represent 72% of all US digital ad spending. (Marketing Land)

Old rules don't apply!

Using the previous Google mobile search algorithm, the top results were based on their distance from the consumer.
However, according to this video and Google itself, the new changes to Google’s mobile search algorithm punishes businesses that do not have a mobile site and they may no longer appear on a Google Search, or if they do, they may be at the bottom of the search results, a place most people never see.
It’s a simple business decision for Google. Good relevant searches mean happy customers for Google, and if local businesses are caught in the middle, that’s their fault for not keeping up with the times.

The answer is simple...

A responsive website is a replacement for your desktop site, specifically designed for smartphones, tablets, laptops, pc’s and smart tv’s.
