5 Responsive Design Mistakes And How To Avoid
Them
In the recent past, mobile phones have grabbed
the attention of the majority of people around
the world. The reason? Easy to carry, easy to
use and still you have the world in your palms.

Approximately, 49 of all the web traffic in the
world originates from mobile devices alone,
meaning people rely on it to do most of their
tasks. Considering its significance in the
current digital generation, search engines like
Google have factored in mobile friendliness of
websites to rank at top of the search
results. If you dont have a mobile-friendly
design for your website, you are likely to miss
out on a massive chunk of target
audience. Additionally, having a mobile-friendly
website for your business is equally important
for SEO. All of this calls for responsive web
design through which your website can adjust to
different screen sizes of different
devices. While designing a responsive website,
you might make some common mistakes that could
affect the health of your website. To help you
avoid them, we have listed out most common
responsive design mistakes and their solutions

rs And Its Solutions

• Using Device Sizes As Reference Unit
• According to a mobile network operator company,
  there were 24,000 different android devices back
  in 2015. This number has jumped to a greater
  mark in the past five years. As there are so
  many varieties of devices available today, their
  screen sizes vary too. To make sure that your
  website offers a seamless experience on all
  devices, you need to have the right reference
  unit.
• If you just focus on the device size reference
  unit when creating a responsive design, your
  website might not open properly on newly
  launched devices. Dont restrict yourself to the
  screen sizes of current devices only as far as
  the reference unit go. Instead, get yourself
  truly responsive designs that can fit properly to
  any screen size.
• A great idea to have a fully responsive web
  design is to lead with a mobile-first approach
  where you design your website for the smallest
  screens and then gradually scale it to large
  screen sizes.
• To achieve full responsiveness of your site, you
  can use a few tools more so, Lambda Test or
  BrowserStack. It lets you check if your website
  opens properly on new devices.

• Not Compressing Image Files

Beautiful visuals on your site can make it look
really attractive. However, you must think twice
before adding them to your website. Usually they
are larger than text files and can make your
site load slower. Whats bad about having a
slow-loading website is that as your page
loading time increases, so do your bounce
rates. In fact, an American content delivery
network service provider reported that the
bounce rates increased by 6 when pages took 1.5
seconds more while loading. This is why it is
necessary to compress the media content on your
site like images and videos. There are a few
tools you can use to achieve this such as lt a
href"https//tinypng.com/"gtTinyPNG or Compress
JPEG. If you have a WordPress website, you can
install a Smush plugin to optimize your images
and videos. Just in case, you want to have a
professional website for your next project we
highly recommend to have a WordPress website.
With WordPress, you can be assured of reliability
and flexibility. Moreover, it can also be used
as a proper content management system. Just
connect with the representative of our Los
Angeles web design company and tell them your
website requirements. We offer WordPress web
design and development, WordPress customization,

optimization, and email marketing. 3. Not Using
Adaptive Image Management As file size of an
image is important to consider while responsive
website development, so are its dimensions. You
may not bother about using images of different
dimensions on conventional websites while
responsive websites are a whole different thing.
Missing out on the right image management can
spoil the user experience of your visitors. One
thing you definitely dont want your visitors to
see is huge images on a small screen. There are
certain measures you can take to avoid this
pitfall like implementing adaptive image

• management techniques. You could do the following
  to achieve this
• Resolution-based selection Render the same image
  in different resolutions.
• Device-pixel-ratio-based selection Make the
  images look sharp and clear and reduce the
  artifacts based on different screen sizes.
• Viewport-based selection Vary images based on
  the devices it will be viewed on.
• Art direction Crop the image based on the screen
  sizes to improve its viewing experience on
  different devices.

• 4. Hiding Content
• One of the most common mistakes you can commit
  when creating a responsive design of your site
  is hiding content. You might implement this
  trick to fit your website on smaller screens or
  to speed up your website but thats not the right
  approach. You must avoid it at all costs since
  none of the visitors are coming to your site
  just to find an incomplete piece of content.
  They want to have the same visiting experience on
  all devices just like desktops.
• Your main aim should be to offer them with an
  excellent user experience. This is necessary
  from a visitors point of view as they might be
  accessing your website through multiple devices.

This is why you must make sure to maintain
consistency in content. 5. Maintaining
Consistency In Navigation Have one thing crystal
clear in mind that your website navigation plays
a key role in improving the user experience.
Thats why offering a consistent browsing
experience to them across all devices is going
to attract them to your business. However, you
must know that maintaining a complete consistency
isnt a good idea either. One of the terrible
mistakes people often make while designing
responsive websites is that they keep consistent
navigation across all screen sizes. Now think
when your screen size will reduce, a consistent
navigation bar might not contract and end up
occupying half the space of the screen. And it
could translate into a ruined browsing
experience. Thats why you should consider
reducing the size of the navigation bar with the
screen size or you could replace it with a
hamburger menu. Along with your website
navigation you should also make sure that visual
layouts and button sizes are flexible to render
well on all devices. However typefaces, links,
and color treatments should be consistent so it
doesnt interfere with your brand
identity. Final Thoughts If your main goal is to
reach your target audience around the world, you
cant underestimate the importance of having a
responsive web design. It is rather essential but
make sure you dont make possible mistakes
mentioned in this blog. Deliver your visitors a
consistent browsing experience across multiple
devices and dont hide anything that can be
important for them to know. Focus on improving
your page loading speed and reducing your bounce
rate as that will help you to easily draw target
audience to your site.
