What Does Responsive Website Design Mean?

And why is it important to your business?

With the unprecedented growth of mobile device usage on websites, apps, and social media, it is essential that your website is viewable and user friendly regardless of what device your customers are using.

In the past, companies built two separate websites: a fully featured version for computer users, and a pared down version for mobile viewers. Now we build one responsive version of the website that is “fluid” and allows graphics, text, and layout to change in response to what device is being used for viewing.
