Does Your Law Firm's Mobile Website Make the Grade?
Responsive design determines whether a potential client on a phone can actually use your site or gives up and calls the next firm on the list.
More Screens, More Risk
Website viewing options have expanded dramatically. Previously, designers built fixed-width sites around standard monitor sizes. Today's devices range from 4-inch smartphone screens to 10-inch tablets, requiring different design approaches.
Responsive Web Design vs. Dedicated Mobile Sites
Dedicated mobile sites create separate versions for specific devices on different subdomains, requiring individual updates for any content change. Responsively designed web pages automatically adjust themselves to fit the screen size they are being viewed on, reformatting text, resizing images, and reordering content.
[REWRITE NOTE: Expand significantly. Add specifics on what responsive design means in practice for a law firm (above-the-fold CTA, click-to-call, no horizontal scrolling), and connect to mobile Core Web Vitals and AI crawlability. Needs to reach 400 words minimum before publishing.]
