The importance of a flexible and well-organized mobile website is well known for almost everyone. In order to be successful in your business, having a website that will completely respond to your users’ demands is a must.
We can say that today is an era of competition between sites. The design of the website, its visuality, multifunctionality and load time often defines the success of a business. Simply said, if the user can’t be impressed with the design of your site, she can continue searching the information from another source.
A mobile responsive website is one more way to drive more traffic on your real estate site. Studies show that among the three most popular sources home buyers used in the home searching process, one was Mobile/Tablet Websites (73%). So this gives a clear answer to why a mobile responsive website is significant for real estate.
Meaning of Mobile Responsive Website and Its Benefits
Have you ever had to struggle while fitting the website with your equipment? When the size of a website doesn’t respond with your device and you have to zoom in, zoom out or just waste your time? I believe you probably have. So, in order to avoid such misunderstanding with the visitors of your site, you must make your website mobile responsive.
Responsive design responds to the screen size of the device. It has a flexible layout which adjusts according to a screen size. For example, if it’s accessed from a smartphone or a tablet the layout will display differently. The three-column layout changes to one and fits any device. It shows only important information and other pictures and less significant data is hidden or moved.
Most noteworthy, in 2015 Google announced that a responsive website is a priority for them. This means that whether it is responsive or not, may be a ranking factor for Google. Also, if the load time is small, it allows users to operate faster on your site. That itself reduces the bounce rate. These factors brought together improve your SEO and good SEO is all you need.
