Metis Design Group Leading the Way in International Web Development
Mesa, AZ (PRWEB) July 01, 2013 -- Two new recently launched websites designed to foster business investment and entrepreneurial activity in African nations use Responsive Web Design to deliver an optimal viewing experience, easy reading, and intuitive navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling. The new websites for Africa Commerce and the Africa Business Portal join a portfolio of online resources that started with the Commerce Ghana website that is now a few years old. The new sites, designed by Metis Design Group utilize an approach to web design that makes a website much more accessible across a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets (of all sizes) and desktop computers.
A huge amount of internet browsing is now being done on mobile devices, and website design patterns in the future will take that into account. Year 2013 has been hailed as the ‘Year of Responsive Design’, and with the growing popularity of mobile devices, it has become imperative for any business to ensure their website is accessible by smart phones and tablets alike.
These two new African business websites are relying heavily on improved SEO to make an impression in the global marketplace. A responsively designed website makes that even easier. Google has already published their recommendation that web designers embrace Responsive Design, or websites designed so that they respond to mobile devices. Here is their recommendation:
“Google recommends webmasters follow the industry best practice of using responsive web design, namely serving the same HTML for all devices and using only CSS media queries to decide the rendering on each device.”
In the next year, most marketing professionals have indicated that what the search engines “recommend” now, will very shortly become what they rank sites based on. Business owners can expect that search engine rankings will give preference to websites designed to respond to mobile devices within the next year.
