It's very important for companies to have a responsive website that displays nicely on smaller screens. Smartphone users will often leave a site that is not presented in a clear readable manner for their device.


2. Better Customer Experience


The first impression is everything, so if someone is visiting a website for the first time from their smartphone, you want them to have a positive experience. If the user does not properly see your website on their small screen devices then they more likely to give up and try another website.


3. Faster Web Pages


Research shows that smartphone visitors tend to quit webpage that takes more than three seconds to finish loading. If the website is not responsive for smartphones and tablets, it will also take more average time to load a website, which can frustrate customers to a point of no return. Make sure that your responsive website uses modern techniques that will help to improve your web pages loading speed.


4. Improve SEO Ranking


According to Google, Website mobile-friendliness considered as SEO ranking signal. Single responsive website rather than separate for desktop and mobile version avoids the duplicate content issue as well as negative search ranking.


5. Lower Bounce Rates


Responsive web design gives a much better user experience for all users. So, it is much more likely that they’ll stick around for a longer time and explore different areas of your site. While, if your website isn’t responsive, then it is much harder to keep the user engaged and therefore more likely that they’ll leave (bounce), never to come back.
