WHAT IS RESPONSIVE WEB DESIGN?

Responsive Web Design ensures visitors to your website have a good viewing experience no matter what type of device they’re using. That could be a desktop computer monitor, a laptop, a tablet, or a smartphone screen. Responsive Web design is an approach whereby a designer creates a Web page that “responds to” or resizes itself depending on the type of device it is being seen through.

WHY DO YOU NEED IT?

It’s become very important over the last few years as mobile device ownership has exploded and the amount of mobile traffic now accounts for more than half of total internet traffic. Now that Google is prioritising mobile-friendly sites in its search results algorithm, it’s essential to make sure your site is optimised for mobile by using responsive design.
