Mobile-friendly websites that make calling easy

Responsive website design makes one website adjust its layout to fit any screen, from a phone to a wide desktop monitor. TLG Marketing plans layouts for phones first, sizes buttons and forms for thumbs, and keeps mobile load times short, so visitors on any device can read your offer and contact you without zooming or hunting for a phone number.

Who needs responsive design

If your site was designed for desktop and squeezed onto phones afterwards, mobile visitors are probably struggling with it. Common signs include text that needs pinching to read, menus that cover the page, and form fields too small to tap.

Service businesses feel this most. Many people looking for a plumber, a lawyer or a clinic search on their phone and want to call within a minute. If the number is buried or the page is slow, they go back to the search results and pick someone else.

How we design for small screens

• Phone-first layouts. We decide what a mobile visitor sees on the first screen, usually your offer, some proof and a call button, then expand the design for larger screens.
• Tap targets that work. Buttons, menu items and form fields are sized and spaced so they can be tapped accurately.
• Click-to-call and short forms. Phone numbers dial on tap, and forms ask only for what you need to follow up.
• Images sized per device. Phones receive smaller image files, so pages load quickly on mobile data.
• Cross-browser testing. Every template is checked in the main browsers at phone, tablet and desktop widths.

Better for visitors and for search

Google primarily uses the mobile version of your pages to decide rankings, so a site that works poorly on phones can hold back your search visibility along with your leads. When a site needs both, we pair responsive design with mobile SEO and page speed work.

Responsive layouts come standard with every website we design. We also report mobile calls and form submissions separately, so you can see exactly how phone visitors respond.
