ResponsiveWebDesign Over fifty percentof people viewingwebsites
do so on mobile devices. Having a non-
responsivewebsitejustwon'tcutitanymore.
A responsive website reconfigures based on
screen size, making it easy to view on smart
phones, tablets and full-sized monitors. Links
areeasy tosee -andpress -with fingerson
touch-screens.
A non-responsive website requires users of
mobiledevicestoscrollbackandforthtoread
sentences, find links and access content.
Words flowoff thescreen, linksaredifficult to
find, and images take up valuable space on
smallscreens.
