What is Responsive Web Design?
Do you keep hearing the term "Responsive Website"? The reason is this style of website has become the industry standard in recent times. Responsive web design allows you to build and operate one website to suit all devices by re-sizing your site depending upon the screen size. The text will alter in size to keep it readable and the presentation will go from multiple columns on a PC to one thin column on a mobile phone. This technology means that all users will find a view suitable to their device and will thus remain on the site longer as they will not need to zoom and scroll to read the content.
Google recommends responsive web design as the solution to the multiple screen sizes problem and whats more they reward responsive websites with higher search rankings. So building a responsive website will reap benefits not only for usability but also for search engine optimisation (SEO).
