10 things to check for on your responsively designed website
by Steven Mautone Grace ThemesIt’s great that you opted for a WordPress website and got it
responsively designed as well; but you may still need to check out your website
and see if it all pans out along expected lines. Here are a few things that you
may want to check for, when it comes to your responsive WordPress theme.
·
Targeting vital content: You may want to find
out if the important items are showing up in the right order when a user views
your website on his mobile phone. The first thing that you need to do is to
work out the importance of elements on your website, find out how the current
design shows up, in the responsive mode. And you may need to tweak your overall
design for better effectiveness as well.
·
Strategic placement: When it comes to your
website, you need to remember that a responsively designed website necessitates
that you ensure that the important details appear in a prominent position.
Given the short attention span of most online users, it is all the more
important that clear details
·
Missing ux functionality: The other important
thing that you may want to consider is the missing UX functionality and whether
your users experience the same. You can double check the same with your desktop
and mobile phone.
·
Screen size: One of the main reasons that you or
for that matter anyone would want to go in for a responsive WordPress theme is to ensure that users can view their
website “as it is”, and that the screen size adjusts accordingly. That’s
something that you may want to double check.
·
Menus, buttons and spacing: You may want to
check over the menus, buttons and spacing on your website, as you access it on
your phone.
· Missing content: You may also want to check and
see if any content has gone AWOL when viewed through a mobile phone. Just use
your phone to access your website.
·
Repurposed navigation: The other thing that you
may want to pay attention to is how your website appears online. You need to
find out if your sidebar content is being repurposed for navigation or if it is
getting pushed under the rest.
·
Back to top: One of the things that most web
owners miss out on is adding a ‘back to top’ on top of their pages. Some of the
web pages may be quite tall which is why it makes more sense to add this button
as well to the rest of the design.
·
Accessibility: You also need to check and see if
your website meets with all the accessibility guidelines. You need to make sure
that your responsive best WordPress theme
can meet the same, effectively.
·
Testing: You need to test out your website in
real time; you need to check your website with the help of your smart phone and
compare the same with how it appears with your desk top. A close comparison
between both should tell you as to whether your website is responsive or not.
It is vital that you run all the tests in real time and that it closely mirrors
the actual conditions that your users would be experiencing. In other words,
you need to check the ‘responsiveness’ of your website on your own other than
depend on automated programs to do the testing.
These are some of the things that you would have to check
for, once you have designed your website to be responsive, and with the tips
posted above, you should be able to do just that.
