NEW YORK, June 27, 2014 /PR Newswire/ -- Audiences using mobile devices to access press releases and other content on PRNewswire.com, an industry-leading website, are now enjoying an enhanced user experience due to the company's recently deployed responsive design. In addition to enhanced rendering of news releases and video content across mobile devices, search and social sharing functions have also been optimized for mobile devices.
"Mobile views have increased by more than 100% over the last year on PRNewswire.com," noted Ninan Chacko, PR Newswire's chief executive officer. "Our clients produce and share insightful, valuable content, and our responsive design ensures our clients' target audiences have a seamless experience and can find news and information wherever and whenever they want it."
