Content Media Guru daily update on new software

Oct. 25, 2012 - PRLog -- Content Media Guru update on new software  

Since launching our latest improvement to our software we have received numerous requests for further information.  So, what we shall try to do here is release simple regular news and insights as to how the software works.  If you are new to the idea of Responsive Web Design (RWD), this will be a simple guide that should help answer the majority of common questions that you might have about this incredible new technique.

Your website may look fantastic on a desktop screen - but the same might not be true when your website is viewed on a smartphone, a tablet or an e-reader (like the Kindle). Once the design has been made responsive, your site will look great (and be readable) on all size screens - and not just on a desktop!

With Responsive Design, you can create one design and it will automatically adapt itself based on the screen size of the mobile device. This approach offers plenty of advantages:

It will save time (and money!) as you don’t have to maintain different websites for desktops and mobile devices.
You don’t have to worry about situations where some sites link to your mobile site while others link to your desktop site.
Your Google Analytics reports will paint a better picture of your site’s usage since the data from mobile and desktop users will be consolidated.
The same will be true for the social sharing stats (Facebook Likes, Tweets, +1′s) since the mobile and desktop versions of your web pages will no longer have different URLs.
The earlier design methods looked at user agent strings to determine the mobile device name and the browser that is making the request. That was less accurate and with the number of devices and mobile browsers expanding every day, that matrix is very difficult to maintain. Responsive Design doesn’t care about user agents.
