Surrey launches mobile website

More platforms means better access for everyone, city staff say

Surrey has launched its mobile-friendly website.

It comes in response to requests for a web design that would be viewable on all devices, whether it is a smartphone, tablet or any sized desktop monitor.

It includes easy reading and navigation with minimal resizing, scrolling and panning. The design also allows for seamless, efficient and integrated analytics supported by search engines such as Google.

The city reviewed its website data and found that 1.48 million people visited the site in 2012, and visits from a mobile device were up 150 per cent during the first quarter of this year. In total, 30 per cent of all visits now come from a mobile device.

Implementing responsive web design is the latest step in the city’s ongoing effort to streamline business processes, improve customer service, and advance innovative digital technology. Other services include; COSMOS mapping, SeeClickFix, Art Walk and My Waste App.
