Responsive Website

A responsive website is necessary in this day and age, where most people surf the internet on smart phones and tablets. Desktop computers and laptops are being used much less than in previous years.

There are numerous types of devices on the market today that are used for online browsing. A responsive website will automatically adjust to the size and format of whatever device is being used. Websites need to be visually pleasing and easy to navigate on all devices to provide visitors information about your company.

If a site is not responsive, users have to pan the text back and forth to read it and the overall layout may be compromised as well. This is frustrating to most people and they will most likely leave the site and find one that is easier to navigate.

Let's take a deeper look at the benefits of a responsive website:

Puffer's Salon and Day Spa Website Design

Bright Cloud Studio worked with Puffer's Salon & Day Spa to provide a beautiful website that represents how you would feel when visiting them in person. The site allows visitors to learn about Puffer’s salon and spa services, see upcoming promotions and make reservations. The site is built within a powerful content management system (CMS) that allows the Puffers team to make their own website updates and add news articles through an easy to use back-end interface.
