Graeme Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hello All, I'm getting concerned as some web sites show up on my phone and seem as though they are designed for this solely, I think it is RWD? I heard that Google is going to like web sites who design for this,1st question, is this true? 2nd question, how can I design this? next one how does each platform know which one to fisplay? Thank you as always, Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Yes, that is responsive web design. You can see Google's comments on that topic here: http://searchengineland.com/google-finally-takes-a-clear-stance-on-mobile-seo-practices-123543. They don't explicitly say yes/no whether RWD will boost your rankings, but they do say that it helps make it easier for your users and makes it easier for Google to properly index your content (versus different versions of your site for different devices, for example.) The primary tool for RWD is media queries -- they allow you to specify different CSS for different screen sizes. The underlying HTML will stay the same, but you can use media queries to adjust the layout and sizing of the elements, or hide/show elements as appropriate.

Graeme Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thank you, is media queries software? Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Media queries are pieces of code you put in your CSS file that tell the browser which CSS to use for which screen sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I think it is @media the code you use for RWD and I personally think that all websites should be built for it considering the number of smart phone and tablet users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
