Denver's Unleaded Group Adds Extra Octane to Web Design

  July 06, 2015 -- Denver's Unleaded Group Adds Extra Octane to Web Design

Born as Unleaded Software in a basement in 1996, like so many of the earliest internet ventures, the Denver-based Unleaded Group has grown into an industry-leading web development company with over 40 staff members in offices in Denver and Ahmedabad, India and a client list spanning four continents. To highlight the companys expanded capabilities and growth, the Unleaded Group launched a complete redesign of its website in June to a Responsive format.

Responsive Design is a process by which websites are coded as theyre built to recognize how an online shopper is connecting to the internetby a desktop computer, cell phone or tablet. Once detected, the sites contents automatically populate to fit the fit the appropriately-sized screenfrom wide to mid-size to narrow. As growing numbers of shoppers do their shopping on the internet, companies like Unleaded work to maximize their clients exposure on search engines such as Google giving them the tools to convert those shoppers into buyersthe newest innovation being Responsive Design.

Customers dont want to shop on sites where they cant use links and buttons without zooming or excessive scrolling, where images are too small to see, or where navigation is difficult or confusingall things that happen when a website not built on a Responsive or mobile platform, said Jarod Clark, founder and president of the Unleaded Group.

Google is behind the rush to go Responsive. The dominant search engine internet-wide, Google controls how online searches function. About 1 ½ years ago, Google announced the upcoming change that would require that websites be mobile or Responsive to appear on a list of search findings. Then in early 2015, Google made the switch, altering its algorithm to eliminate non-mobile or Responsive sites from any search conducted on a phone or tablet.

Statista.com, a statistics portal, announced Worldwide mobile phone internet user penetration reached 73.4 percent in 2013. That number is expected to jump to 90+ percent by 2017.

By making its site adaptable (Responsive or mobile), a business guarantees itself a higher ranking in search results, Clark noted.

Once a shopper lands on a website, its crucial that theyre able to move quickly to things that interest them and buy those things easily and securely. This becomes the job of Unleadeds team of content managers and site developers. On a website, especially on a small screen like a cell phone, a picture is literally worth a thousand words, said Leon Averbukh, Unleadeds Director of Digital Marketing. By using strong images, we can help a shopper recognize things they want and quickly direct them to the products they want to buy.

While there are several ready-made templates for building websitesplatforms, in the trade jargonUnleadeds true expertise is in customized design for Magento, ExpressionEngine or hybrids of the two. We integrate the best features of each platform to net a site thats optimized for a customers specific needs, Clark said.

Magento is the leading ecommerce platform, ExpressionEngine is Unleadeds preferred content managed solution. Magento is used to power some of the most respected online businesseslike e-Bay, for instanceand is the platform of choice for nearly every serious seller on the internet. One of the earliest Magento affiliates, Unleaded boasts 11 Magento-certified developers on its staff. We grew alongside Magento and are experts at integrating its robust e-commerce capabilities with other content management systems like Expression Engine and Craft for large and small clients alike.
