Why Should You Build a Responsive Website?

Responsive websites are no longer a trend but are now an absolute must.

Mobile usage has increased by 16% since 2010 and mobile ecommerce share is at 27% and these numbers are forecasted to continue on this incredible rise.

These figures highlight the importance of having a responsive and mobile friendly website in today’s tech savvy day and age. This does not mean however, you should invest in having a separate mobile app or stuffing all of your desktop site into a mobile site. Responsive websites only work if you prioritise which information and site elements to put on a smaller screen based on your business goals. You also need to think about user interaction and experience such as integrating touch screen features to aid navigation.
