\"responsive<\/a>If you have a large, live site and are not able to currently redesign to lodge mobile users, the mobile site is a step in the right direction. However, if you have a smaller site or are due for a redesign, a responsive approach is an tremendous path to proceed down to satisfy your mobile goals.<\/p>\n

Responsive Design:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Responsive Design has more benefit than Draw backs:<\/p>\n

Responsive Design (Web apps) will take on a well-built acumen contribute to among both publishers and consumers, as hardware involvedness grows and the need for propinquity increasingly dominates modern media utilization behavior.<\/p>\n

Not only is Responsive Design affordable and easy to maintain, it has several SEO benefits that traditional websites\/Native Apps do not have. Such as,<\/p>\n

Pros:
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Keeps your content consistent across several different resolution
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Prevents canonical issues and duplicate content penalties
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Compiles all inbound links to one location
\n4.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0You can use RESS to get around the cons mentioned for RWD by adding logic to serve up small & fast loading images better suited for small screens and slower cellular internet connections.
\n5.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Multilingual Ready (WPML)
\n6.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Retina-Ready
\n7.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Social Networking and Webmaster Tools
\n8.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0W3C Markup Validated
\n9.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Cross-Browser compatible and many more.<\/p>\n

Cons:
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0It takes longer lead-time to get a project out the door.
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Some duplicated content may necessary.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Mobile Site:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a separate website that visitors will see if they are on a mobile device. Usually, this is formatted for a phone-sized screen and employs some type of platform detection to route the visitors to the correct site. These sites might even be hosted on their own subdomain.
\nConsider this approach to add to an existing website that might be too extensive to redesign.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Mobile Site has more Drawback than Benefits:<\/p>\n

Pros:
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0You have full access over your site and how updates are made. With user agent device detection you have a high level of customization you can do per device platform and screen size.
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Only the most essential information is presented in a streamlined interface.<\/p>\n

Cons:
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Usually only targets one screen size.
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0A separate silo of content is created that needs to be maintained.
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Could result in higher maintenance costs over time.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Native Apps:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Native app as one that is specifically designed to run on a device\u2019s operating system and machine firmware, and typically needs to be adapted for different devices.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Native Apps has more Drawback than Benefits:<\/p>\n

Native apps have a unpredictably low adoption – The average user installs less than two-three apps a month, less than 15% of users will ever use it past 6 month.<\/p>\n

Pros:
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0If the user so chooses, apps on device get a nice icon on the home screen keeping you top of mind, and the app can take advantage of the devices hardware like camera, accelerometer, multitasking etc.
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Customization you can do per device platform and screen size.<\/p>\n

Cons:
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0They also have high development costs and time consuming – higher if you want to reach all of your users (all of the platforms will need a different code base).\u00a0 Such as,
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Delivering updates for a Native Apps not expedient.
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Native application developed for the iPhone will need to run on its proprietary iOS, Android platform, or on Symbian for many Nokia devices, and so forth.<\/p>\n
