For many businesses, switching to a responsive website can be perceived as a significant investment that takes time, money and resources. But in a world of mobile and wearable web devices, companies which ignore responsive web design do so at their own risk. Here are ten reasons why you need to switch to a responsive website immediately.
What are the key elements of a good website? Appealing design, simple navigation, and content that answers a user’s most important questions: “what does your brand do?” and “what’s in it for me?”. All of these elements must be woven around a key concept – the brand’s USP – to tell a compelling story that will draw the user in.
Website development is evolving at breakneck speed. What was trending in 2016 is not trendy anymore. Today, the focus is on the user, and companies are shifting gear to cater to every need and requirement of the website user.

Known as RankBrain, it is a form of robotic technology, a machine learning system that could learn and evolve on its own, providing smarter, more intuitive results with a better-than-human understanding.
The more we embrace digital technologies and modern means of communication in our lives, the more “sedentary” becomes a definition of our lifestyle.
The human body was never built to be seated for long hours at a stretch. Our modern office culture of continuous sitting has affected our health in the form of a whole range of repetitive stress and serious, long term ailments and diseases. Unless we take urgent steps to adopt health and wellness initiatives at our workplaces, we are going to end up with a whole generation of professionals irreparably damaged by their modern sedentary lifestyle.
