Responsive web design is a relatively new approach that ensures users have a good user experience (UX)—no matter what device they’re on. This design offers a fluid and flexible layout which adjusts according to screen size and creates a system for a single website to react to the size of the user’s device using only one URL and one content source.

What Significance does Responsive Web Design Have?
As traditional PC sales continue to decline and cell phone sales increase it’s essential that your company is using a responsive web design in order to reach all of your potential customers as 79% of smartphone users made an online purchase in 2019. Not only is responsive design important for overall user experience (UX), in the past few years Google has started prioritizing mobile-friendly sites. Google’s algorithm will rank non-responsive sites lower automatically, which can have a great impact on where your company ranks in search engine pages.
