Implementing Responsive Design for Your Website
What is responsive design, anyway?
Responsive design is an approach that suggests that website design and development responds to a user’s behaviour and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation. This ensures content will look good and be easy to use across multiple devices, such as desktops, tablets, or smartphones, using flexible grids and layouts.
Nowadays, search engines take responsive design into consideration within their algorithms, and if a site is mobile-friendly, it has the potential to rank better than other, non-mobile friendly sites. As a result, it’s become more important than ever to make sure your website is setup responsively. What this means for you is there are additional complexities to consider in terms of various devices and how users will view your site.
