Responsive Web Design

Your customers are on their phones. Your website had better be.

Most of the people who visit your website will never see it on a computer. Responsive design is how one website comes out right on every screen — and how we've built every single site since the beginning.

Table Stakes

Every website should work this way. Plenty still don't.

Here’s an honest thing most agencies won’t put on a service page: responsive design shouldn’t be a service you have to shop for. It’s simply how websites ought to be built, and it has been for years. We keep this page around because people still search for it — usually right after pinching and zooming their way across their own website on a phone, or losing a customer who gave up trying.

If that’s you, the fix isn’t a “mobile version” bolted on after the fact. It’s a website drawn for small screens from the first sketch, which is how we work: the phone layout comes first, the desktop layout earns its extra space second. Not a checkbox at the end of the build — the starting point of it.

Every Screen

One website, correct everywhere it appears

A responsive site reflows itself to fit whatever it lands on: a phone in a parking lot, a tablet on a couch, a laptop, a boardroom projector. Menus become thumb-friendly, columns stack in the right order, text stays readable without a single pinch. We test across screen sizes and across browsers — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge — because your customers don’t coordinate their devices with each other.

Google cares as much as they do. It reads the phone version of your website first and ranks you on how well that goes, so a site that fumbles on mobile is quietly paying for it in search results too.

Everyone

Built for every screen means built for every person

Responsiveness has a quieter sibling: accessibility. Not everybody navigates with a mouse and a keyboard — some people browse by keyboard alone, some with screen readers, some with text sized way up. Building for that is something almost nobody in this industry actually does, and it’s part of every site we ship: real headings, labelled buttons, contrast that passes, layouts that hold together at any text size. When AVI Health & Community Services needed health information reachable by everyone on Vancouver Island — on any device, any connection, any ability — this was the whole job, done properly.

It’s the right thing to do, and — no coincidence — Google checks this too.

The standing arrangement

Every site here is under management

We designed these sites, we host them, and we keep them current — the same standing arrangement that comes with every build.

LP — AVI Health & Community Services★★★★★
I worked with Bryn on a website redesign for a non-profit client. He was a total delight to work with from start to finish. He was extremely friendly and pleasant to work with, always clear and consistent on timelines, and produced a beautiful, well-designed, accessible, usable site that we’re absolutely thrilled with, at a competitive price. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.
Richard C. — Cuelenaere LLP★★★★★
Our firm recently finished working with Bryn Becker of Becker Design & Media to modernize our very out of date website. Bryn developed a design and plan for us and implemented it in very short time for the nature of the project. He was always helpful, quick to respond and a pleasure to work. We are very happy with his work. Highly recommended!

FAQ

Two questions, answered plainly

Our current website looks bad on phones. Can it be fixed, or do we start over?
It depends on the bones. Sometimes a site’s structure is sound and the mobile problems can be repaired; often the honest answer is that retrofitting costs more than rebuilding properly. We’ll take a look and tell you plainly which one you’ve got — with reasons, not a sales pitch.
Will the mobile site have less on it?
No. Same website, same content, same everything — arranged for the screen it’s on. Trimming features “for mobile” is usually a sign the site wasn’t planned for mobile in the first place. Yours will be.
