The article states, "Take a look at your Google Analytics first, see how many visitors are coming to your site from different devices, look at their screen resolutions and operating system and then decide who you want to please first."
That does align nicely with data driven decision making, but I'd sure be worried that new visitors, upon visiting my site and realizing the competitor's responsive site is a much nicer experience, decides not to return.
I help run a small store online with enough traffic to matter to me and I think I'm at around 12% mobile new visits. That's a lot and I'm currently not responsive. I'm becoming a bit anxious wondering about new user experience on my site and whether I should start the move sooner than later.
- kirillzubovsky 14y agoThat definitely makes sense. We aren't saying that you shouldn't consider doing a responsive website for your mobile visitors, you certainly should. But, like you mentioned, you have a small team and there must be other features on the development roadmap that may be of a higher priority. For example, if you run mobile-targetted ads, you should probably have a great experience on mobile to make sure your users convert. However, if your shopping cart requires 16 steps to checkout, then you're better of first upgrading the cart to a 1-3 step checkout process. Do you see what I mean? Thinking about user data just helps to make a decision on when you'd start implementing responsive layout.
