3 Reasons Why You Need a Responsive Navigation Menu

January 18, 2017 by Cindy Wieting

Brands are recognizing there’s no need for two separate websites. The trend now is to create a responsive website that will work seamlessly on any mobile device, tablet, laptop, or desktop screen and is designed to adjust to meet the user’s needs. But, In order to ensure that your mobile visitors’ aren’t frustrated while surfing your web pages, it is vital to provide them a fully-functional menu that is easy-to-use.

3 Reasons to Use a Mobile Responsive Navigation Menu

  1. Better Usability – Although smartphones have the ability to zoom by ‘pinching’ or the double-tap, as well as other functions to help browsing non-responsive websites, navigation and legibility can still be difficult. Mobile users are more likely to use sites that are designed for mobile use instead of those that simply display a desktop version on mobile devices.

  2. More Conversions – According to Moz, a leading SEO company, UK based eCommerce company Offspring saw an increase of over 15% in mobile conversions, accompanied by a year-on-year increase in mobile revenue of over 100%.

  3. SEO Benefits – Since 2015, Google has been encouraging developers and businesses to prioritize mobile versions of their sites. Since April 2015, Google announced that mobile friendly websites would rank better on mobile search results pages than websites that were not mobile-friendly. Now Google is adding another new algorithm change that prefers one responsive website for every type of platform.

Design is not full of rules, but rather guidelines for creating wonderful ideas. In web design these ideas need to be usable and easy to interpret on any screen. Your mobile responsive navigation menu should be easy to locate and understand, organized so users don’t have to search around for content, and look like a natural extension of your site’s desktop version. Nested levels of navigation are not always the best choice for a mobile website. With so many web users now visiting on smartphones and tablets, expecting them to use your old, desktop navigation is simply not a viable option.

LOOKING FOR A FRESH LOOK FOR YOUR WEBSITE?

December 14, 2016 by Cindy Wieting

For Cugno Architecture we ensured the original design was scalable and would continue to grow with their business, but our client was ready for a fresh look. The internet is constantly evolving and your website should be too. What does it take to freshen up your website design for the new year?

GOOGLE LOVES TO SEE FRESH NEW CONTENT.

You need to add to your website regularly, so we incorporated Cugno Architecture’s new projects to showcase their brand, and help increase the SEO ranking. If you haven’t updated your content since you built the site, chances are there is some material that can be removed or relocated.

MOVING CONTENT AROUND

What made sense to you a few years back, may not be as relevant today. What are the top objectives of your site? Is it to inform visitors about your brand, get them to join your mailing list, or convert them into buyer? Whatever your top objectives are, they shouldn’t be more than 1 click away!

NEW MOBILE MENU

This is a must for the best user experience. A standard desktop navigation menu can be hard to use from a mobile site or take up the entire mobile viewing window. The hamburger menu is a perfect solution to make navigating your site quick and easy, and exactly what we added to refresh Cugno’s website.

BE CONSISTENT!

If you’ve updated your logo, branding, or color palette you should be using them on your site. Using visuals like images and color schemes goes a long way to improving a visitor’s experience. In this case the vivid photography of past projects takes center stage. A picture is worth a thousand words after all.

Cungo Architecture is a full service architecture firm specializing in high-end custom residences with over 25 years experience. We’ve had the pleasure of working with this local business for over 5 years and look forward to many more years helping them grow their brand virtually.

If you think you might want to update your website give us a call at 203.259.8913 we would be happy to talk with you or email us
