Responsive Website Design

One Website for Desktop, Tablet and Mobile
Responsive development is included in the business websites and ecommerce stores developed by Guy Designs. It is not an optional extra.
You do not need separate websites for desktop computers, tablets and mobile phones. Responsive website design allows one website to adjust its layout, navigation, images and content to suit different screen sizes.

Responsive Development Backed by Technical Expertise

The responsive controls included with WordPress and page builders provide a starting point, but they cannot anticipate how every element will appear once your website’s content, images and functionality have been added.
Once the final website draft is approved, Guy Designs analyses each page across desktop, tablet and mobile screen sizes. We refine the content and layout and, where required, modify the underlying HTML, CSS, JavaScript or WordPress code to ensure the website displays and functions correctly.
We will also hide content, images or other page elements that are not required on smaller screens, keeping the mobile layout clear and practical while retaining them on the desktop version.

This includes correcting issues such as:

  • content appearing in the wrong order;
  • headings wrapping awkwardly;
  • images being cropped incorrectly;
  • buttons becoming difficult to select;
  • forms or tables extending beyond the screen;
  • changes made for mobile affecting the desktop layout.

How Does a Responsive Website Work?

One Website

The same website, content and web address are used across desktop computers, laptops, tablets and mobile phones.

Flexible Layouts

Columns, images, navigation, buttons and other page elements adjust or rearrange to suit the available screen space.

Easier to Use

Visitors can read the content, select buttons, complete forms and find information without needing to zoom or scroll sideways.

Do I Need a Separate Mobile Website?

No. A responsive website adapts to different screen sizes, so its content and updates only need to be managed in one place.
Separate mobile websites were more common in the past and could require different content, web addresses and ongoing maintenance.

Do I Need an App?

You do not need an app to promote your business, accept enquiries, take bookings or sell products and services online. These functions can be provided through a responsive business or ecommerce website.
However, an app may be suitable when users need specialised functionality designed for regular use on a phone or tablet, such as:
access to the camera, location services or notifications;
personalised customer or staff accounts;
tools or services used frequently;
functionality that works without an internet connection;
a specialised customer, staff or business system.
Guy Designs can help you determine whether an app is appropriate or the required functionality can be delivered more effectively through a responsive website. When an app is the right solution, we can develop it around the needs of your business and its users.

Responsive Websites and Search Visibility

Google uses the mobile version of a website’s content for indexing and ranking.
A properly developed responsive website helps keep important content, headings, links and functionality available across different screen sizes. A clear structure and accessible content also help traditional search engines and AI-powered search systems understand the website.
Responsive design does not guarantee search rankings, but it is an important part of creating a website that can be accessed, understood and used effectively.

Benefits of working with Guy Designs

WPBakery Visual Composer Website Layout Builder

When developing your website our main goal is for you and your staff to be able to update, change and add content once it's complete, with very little training. Although Wordpress uses a WYSIWYG editor (buttons), just like programs such as MS Word, formatting a page with columns, adding images, videos and other elements is not always easy.

To make these tasks easier, we use a page builder called Visual Composer to develop each page. It works in rows & columns within those rows, where you add components such as headings, text, image galleries, videos, e.t.c. Each component has it's own settings, so adding animation or background is as easy as choosing options within the element.

Change your mind as to where you want an image to sit on the page? Just drag and drop it into another location. No re-writing or messing with code!

Like the way a row or component is formatted? Duplicate it and then place the copy where you want it. You can even copy the format of an entire page.

Updating & adding content to your website

Google and the search engines expect that your website will be updated on a regular basis in order to be seen as as current and rank well. We develop your website to be easily updated and provide a range of videos to teach you all about Wordpress, Visual Composer and other components that we use on your site as well as a personalised guided tour to where to find and edit everything on your website once it is complete.

However, if you don't have time or just don't want to, then we our team can do it for you. It's as easy as sending us an email to support@guydesigns.com.au with details and when you need it completed by (please allow 1-2 weeks for non-urgent updates) and we'll let you know the best way to send the content through to us.

Included in our hosted design package is 5 hours of maintenance per year. If we haven't designed your site or you have run out of maintenance hours, we offer packages in hourly, 5 and 10 hourly blocks.
