Responsive Websites - Websites Cross platform, Browser and Device

Today, people are viewing websites in any number of different ways – on smartphones, tablets, netbooks, laptops, widescreen monitors and even game consoles.

The problem is that most websites are designed with 'Fixed Design' which is not ideal as people with different screen sizes or media devices are denied a good browsing experience, or worse, the site is not accessible to them at all.

So what’s the solution?

Responsive Design. Together with our partners, we can now provide adaptive layouts which respond to their environment, totally regardless of the device or browser being used.

So Responsive Design means complete device and browser compatibility

This new development will allow your website to react to the device on which it’s being displayed!

You see, responsive websites don't need to know what device you are using, because they adjust depending on the WIDTH of the browser. We know of one web design company that keeps and continually updates a database of over 20,000 mobile devices and uses it to tell their websites which device is being used so that it can adjust accordingly. This is not TRUE Responsive Design. True responsive design is totally future proof.

You can be sure that a responsive website will display on devices or browsers that have not even been invented yet !

Responsive websites are not just mobile versions .

Responsive websites will also display on the smallest devices such as smartphones, but they are not merely mobile versions. Responsive sites will be displayed, WITHOUT the need for the user to zoom in and scroll left and right to access functionality as is common with most mobile sites.

Take a look at this website on your smartphone, www.apple.com. This is a perfect example of a mobile site into which you have to zoom in order to access the content. Once you have zoomed in, you also have to scroll around to further access the relevant content.

Contrast that with this Responsive Website www.brightonfilmproductions.co.uk

This is NOT a mobile version of the site, it has adjusted automatically to the screen width.  All the relevant functionality and the main details have automatically adjusted. You do not have to zoom in or scroll around (just vertically). Responsive sites do this irrespective of whether your visitor is using an iphone, ipad, tablet, netbook, standard square PC monitor or any device with a browser.

Take a look at the Demo Video here

The great thing is that if you have just spent thousands on your company website and design and it's NOT responsive, our partners can MAKE your existing website responsive. Responsive Design doesn't have to happen from scratch.

You can find out if your website is responsive, and at the same time see what your visitors see on devices of differing widths (ipad, tablets etc) by opening up your website in any browser and resizing the window by dragging in the right hand side. Look what happens, the browser probably chops off the right hand side of the website and there's probably a scroll bar at the bottom. Also try it out with www.apple.com and you'll see the same effect.

Now do the same with www.brightonfilmproductions.co.uk. No horizontal scroll bar, and the content repositions and adjusts to fit the browser width. That's True Responsive Design.

Ring Fence Your Clients

Here’s a scary statistic

A full 68% of the people who leave your business and stop buying from you do so just because you don’t talk to them anymore.


You don’t write, you don’t phone... so they drift off into another’s arms... and take your profits along with them.


If you are serious about your business, it is ESSENTIAL that you implement a strategy for keeping your customers and clients so that they continue spending money with you year in, year out.


Nowadays, we have an almost ‘Too Good To Be True’ method of keeping in touch with our best clients. It’s called E-MAIL.


If before the age of the internet you’d offered a system to a business in which they could keep in touch with their clients instantly (or prospects for that matter), get instant feedback, instant action and all of this ABSOLUTELY FREE; then you’d have been laughed off the premises.

EMAIL allows you to do this. Used properly, it’s a goldmine.


You can reach all of your existing customers, and keep your services or products in the forefront of their minds all year round. Yes, people are fed up with ‘spam’; but they are not fed up with interesting e-mails from people or businesses with which they have a relationship.
Keep it simple, don’t make a sales pitch, just inform, give useful interesting information, point them at your website for more information. Then Sign Off.


Do it just once a week at the most.


At some point that customer is going to make a decision to buy that service or product again. If you’ve been communicating with them and maintained the relationship, where do you think they are going to go; probably even regardless of price ?


Remember: your business has already ‘paid’ to get that customer. One way or another you ‘buy’ each new customer, whether with advertising, trade shows, direct mail, telephone calls etc.
And everyone you let leave, means you’ve got to spend money to replace them.


Ring fence in your best customers with e-mail.

HW Marketing UK can help you set up your e-mail campaigns, autoresponder software, email templates and handle your mailing lists, help you build a mailing list and advise on all aspects of email marketing. We do NOT condone SPAM in anyway, and would encourage you to feel the same way. SPAM is BAD marketing.

If you would like help with setting up your email communications please call 01243 573615 or (Mobile) 07767 304509 or visit the website www.hwmarketing.co.uk/email-power

and use the form to request more information.

We don’t charge for chatting.
