Think back to the last time you typed in a URL on your iPhone and it did not respond to your phone. The website page was all over the place, the text was so small and there was no way to see where you should be going to get to where you needed to be. Ugh, so, so frustrating! You gave it a go for a few minutes but your fingers kept pressing the wrong thing and you got tired of zooming in and out and scrolling around. You eventually gave up and decided to leave the site.
If it annoys you then guess what it? It annoys your customers and potential customers! This is a surefire way to make you lose business. That’s the last thing you want, right?
Right! So if you’re not on board with the responsive website designs already or don’t even know where to start when it comes to such an ordeal, no need to worry. Take a look at this beefy blog post by Moz. Boy oh boy there’s a lot of information crammed in there but it is some dang good stuff, which is why I’m recommending you read it!

TIP: When in the process of finding a theme for your website [if you are choosing] or when you are explaining to your web developer make sure to tell them you want a site that is responsive on all different devices. Never forget this!

Earlier this year, Facebook unveiled blockbuster ad figures that left even the most ardent fans surprised. Revenues of $2.5 billion for the Jan-March quarter were made up, for the first time, by majority mobile-based advertising money in a clear sign of our changing media consumption habits.
It has also made the job of creating a great content strategy that much more complex, and "cracking it" requires a structured approach that begins with an understanding of the way in which we interact with our everyday devices.
Getting to grips with what content to place where and when is the key aspect of the strategy construction process.
One of the best sources of data to inform that is a Google study from 2012, which you can view in full here. In it we learn that there is a clear user journey across devices and at different times of the day.
