They make for easy intuitive browsing on any device. These features include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Site navigation that automatically adapts to any screen size. A condensed version is rendered on smaller screens to ensure that all content is visible.<\/li>\n<li>Content columns that automatically wrap site content to ensure that content is visible without needing to zoom or scroll horizontally.<\/li>\n<li>Font sizes that scale automatically to match any\u00a0screen size.\u00a0This provides\u00a0an optimal reading experience.<\/li>\n<li>Picture widgets that automatically resize to fit the available viewport. This removes the need to zoom or scroll horizontally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">And the benefits for Yola Silver and Gold subscribers come two-fold. Along with having intuitive responsive websites, premium users have the ability to add click-to-call and site location features to business websites making it even easier for mobile visitors to get in contact with you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8268\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Screen-Shot-2015-04-15-at-8.24.30-AM.png\" alt=\"Yola Mobile Premium Features\" width=\"629\" height=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These enhancements are available for any of the Templates in our <a title=\"The Yola Template Gallery\" href=\"http:\/\/www.yola.com\/templates?cid=501050\" target=\"_blank\">Template gallery<\/a>, as well as our Recommended Styles within the Yola SiteBuilder (these can be navigated here: Style &gt; Styles &gt; Recommended).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8271\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Screen-Shot-2015-04-15-at-8.55.33-AM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-04-15 at 8.55.33 AM\" width=\"628\" height=\"90\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Adding the responsive enhancements to your website is a cinch.
