Back in 2014, mobile searches surpassed those made from desktop computers and the trend has continued into 2017. The world has officially gone mobile.
Responsive web design is now more important than ever. 79% now use mobile to conduct local searches so it makes sense to respond and consider the process of converting your website into a responsive, mobile friendly experience. Make it easier for people on the move to get to the content they need.
“Responsive web design (RWD) is an approach to web design aimed at allowing desktop webpages to be viewed in response to the size of the screen or web browser one is viewing with.
A site designed with RWD adapts the layout to the viewing environment by using fluid, proportion-based grids, flexible images and CSS3 media queries, an extension of the @media rule.”
In other words, web pages respond to the screen it is being viewed on and in this day-in-age, that could be desktop monitor, mobile, tablet and a multitude of television screen sizes.
74% are more likely to revisit mobile-friendly websites because they make it easier for people to find the content they are seeking and to navigate and interact with it in an experience constructed with you, the user in mind.
Not only that but also, the importance of responsive web design has increased even further since Google announced ‘Mobilegeddon’ (April 21, 2015), as they responded to statistics showing that the amount of mobile traffic had surpassed more than half of total internet traffic. Google started to boost the ratings of sites that are mobile friendly.
This example of user interface plasticity is vital to manufacturers’ websites, especially now that our online presence has a lasting impact on prospects and potential customers.

I’ve been working with M4M for the past 4 years and found each team member to be professional, friendly, supportive, and people I would genuinely class as work friends. With support from Warren and Steve from the very top, to the daily support by Richard Hill, Luke and Sam, our account is always in safe hands.
Nikki Crook Marketing Manager, Photofab
We wanted a partner who would manage our marketing from start to finish. Warren, Steve and the team at M4M certainly achieved that. They manage everything from design for print, branding and identity, design for web and strategic marketing to PR. Working together with Marketing for Manufacturing helped take the marketing at Alloy Wire International to another level.
Mark Venables Managing Director, Alloy Wire
Working as an integral part of our business, Marketing for Manufacturing has contributed massively to our fantastic growth over the last four years and continue to support our future business growth.
Martin Wardell Managing Director, MWA Technology
M4M understand design and appreciate the overall strategy of sales and marketing. A group of OEMs such as us need a return on our investment. We need to make sure that all marketing is in line with our business objectives and reinforces the sales and marketing goals and deliverables.
Peter Davies Chairman, MAN Group
We’ve been working with M4M for years and with their help we are the UK market leaders in our industry and have now started trading internationally. I would recommend M4M to any business looking to grow.
Archie Logan Sales Director, Storm Environmental
With 720% increase in online lead generation, M4M have contributed massively to our fantastic growth over the last 10 years.
Matthew Rose Sales Director, MWA Technology
I’ve worked with M4M for 8 years, their service has always been ‘spot on’.
Richard Wileman Managing Director, Wileman Fleet
M4M impressed me from day 1, as we had some immediate needs – a global partners event within a few days of my 1st discussion with Warren. He mobilised a team to support what turned out to be a very successful event, and we haven’t looked back since. Many thanks to Warren and his excellent team, they feel like an integral part of our company.
Alan Peel Chairman, Impression Technologies (ITL)
What we’ve achieved over the last two days has been nothing short of phenomenal. M4M has been a pleasure to work in partnership with! This has left us all thinking about what comes next in the Nielsen. Thanks again for all of the hard work and support your giving us!
Graham Robertson Head of Sales, Nielsen
We have found M4M to be a refreshing change from more traditional marketing companies, who understand design, but do not appreciate the overall strategy of marketing, and indeed selling. Eye catching design is not enough for OEMs such as ourselves; we need a return on our investment and we need to see how the marketing services provided are very much in line and reinforce the sales, marketing goals and deliverables.
Tony Hague Managing Director, PP C&A
M4M really understand our business. I would gladly recommend them to anyone.
Adam Land Operations Director, TechnoGroup
We’re very impressed with all of the content from M4M.
