Since we live in the era of smartphones and mobile devices, our websites should also adjust to the new trends. In this article I will show you how important is to have your website responsive and what surprise google prepared for those who don’t have their websites mobile friendly.

If you have a mobile version of your website (also based on Joomla!) and it isn’t responsive/adaptive you may want to provide a note to the users if that version is more appropriate.

Although responsive template has many advantages, you do not always have the opportunity to use it. Especially if your client has an old version of Joomla 1.5 that does not have this type of templates.

How can we learn from the official announcement, Joomla 3 will bring CMS up-to-speed with the mobile revolution that is taking over the web. It’s predicted that, as soon next years, more people will be online via their smartphone than a desktop. The mobile version of web site may soon be more important than the desktop version.

For testing purpose, you will occasionally need to see the mobile view of your Joomla Template in your Web browser. Mobile interfaces are usually very small and so their dimensions of the display must be adjusted.

The popularity of certain websites, particularly news-related sites, has been on the decline. This is largely due to the proliferation of websites competing for attention. I believe the number of users regularly using a single news or information portal is not declining, but rather that visitors are not committed to remaining for very long at the same information site.

Although the tablets were not originally designed for advanced web developers work, but if you have a screen larger than 7, and access to Google Play some of the work you can do with this mobile device.

Safari is the most popular browser used in mobile phones and tablets – recorded in May, a decrease in market share. Thanks to this in the charts has gained Android browser and Opera Mini.

Web page traffic generated by mobile devices has grown exponentially over the past several years. As recently as the start of 2012, mobile devices were found to have routinely generated 8.5% of all Web traffic.

I think that because of the number of smartphones, and tablets on the market, it is worth, you started to implement a strategy “mobile first”.
