With the ongoing prevalence of mobile showing no signs of stopping, it’s critical that your business website incorporates a responsive design to bring in new customers and keep existing ones.
As the name implies, a responsive design responds to the device the site is being viewed on and displays a page appropriately formatted for that device. It often times will also include a ‘click to call’ link at the very top of the page when viewed on a phone.
