Overview

Responsive web design refers to websites that "respond" to the device on which they are being accessed. Fully responsive refers to websites that scale and display for any screen size, using a fluid grid approach. Q4 Responsive is a fully adaptable framework that runs on the Q4 platform. It allows for fluid grid layout that scales to accommodate any screen size, from a narrow smartphone to a large screen.

Rowan the IRO

Rowan has worked hard to design a website that effectively communicates his company's investment proposition he has created while housing all of his content in a user-friendly manner. With Q4’s responsive design, all the content and site experience he has worked so hard to cultivate translates seamlessly on mobile devices so that all of his mobile viewers get the same great experience.

Stella the Analyst

Stella loves that when she needs to access a website on her phone, everything scales correctly and no information is lost. It can be incredibly difficult to navigate sites on her phone, especially when she is in a rush. With sites that implement responsive design, Stella’s navigation is enhanced for her viewing experience. 

Making the most of your website design

Benefits

Consistent Experience

By applying responsive design to your IR website, you are ensuring that the full experience of your website is accessible and communicated through a mobile device. You work hard to cultivate a strong message and user experience and you want to ensure that your audience has access to that experience, regardless of what device they are using.

Expand your Reach

Having a mobile-friendly experience ensures that you maintain the same SEO ranking that you have worked hard to develop. With so many people now using their smartphones and tablets to navigate the web, ensuring that your website is ready for a mobile audience is a must.

Site Analytics

Better understand the behavior of your mobile audience compared to your traditional desktop viewers. See how your visitors are engaging and take that opportunity to better craft your message and reach your target audience.

What Our Users are saying:

“We switched to Q4 Web Systems last August and have been very happy. We needed a company that could do responsive design, which they do very well. Now our site easily adjusts to desktop, tablet and mobile screens. The people at Q4 are excellent - they are truly hard workers and they are wonderfully innovative. Whenever we ran into a problem, they solved it even if it required fixing their software (which they have the capability to do unlike some of the other vendors). In addition to evaluating their IT platform and service capabilities, I gave Q4 a few challenges:

1) I asked them to create a way to provide editable infographics so that we would be able to update our infographics quickly and inexpensively -- without having to hire graphic designers to update them. For an example of the editable infographics, see: http://investors.fedex.com/company-overview/overview-of-company/default.aspx. Q4 worked very well with Oden (the design firm we hired) to create these infographics.

2) I asked Q4 to keep in mind that we would like to be able to automate as many of the update processes as possible to be able to make changes quickly and reliably throughout our site, especially since we have some files and images that appear on many pages. They did a wonderful job. Our earnings setup process is now much smoother and faster. As a result, we have enjoyed having a few more hours of sleep before our 6 a.m. return to the office for earnings. I had a long list of ideas for improvements to our site plus a goal to be able to spend more time working on IR and less on IT. Q4 has been incredible in their ability to meet all of my goals for our site and more. I can't say enough good things about my experience with them so far (which is high praise from someone who was formerly an engineer with some IT experience prior to finance and investor relations).”
