In the past, serious business owners had two websites. One site for their personal computer customers and one for any mobile users that
visited their business online. But with the majority of web surfers now being mobile users, a business should focus more towards mobile
users. Advances in web technologies have made it possible to now have one website that serves computers, tablets and smartphones equally
well. The future is now and it is called a responsive website design.
A responsive website design simply means a website that has been designed so that the content and images included in the website
remains the same on any device. A responsive website design is designed to where it determines the best way to present the
website to the user based on the users browser and surfing device whether its a computer or smartphone. All users see the same website
no matter what device they are using but its simply adjusted for their screen size.
