Responsive design

In recent years, the use of smartphones has risen sharply. In 2014, only 22% of the population first turned to their phone to browse the Internet, of which only 2/3 of the population owned a smartphone. Since then, the introduction of 4G internet and other innovations have influenced the way people use mobile devices; during 2014, 4G subscriptions jumped sharply from 2.7 million to 23.6 million. In late 2016, mobile web use for the first time overcame PC browsing, which just shows how many people browse smartphones and tablets instead of PCs. This marked a dramatic shift in the behavior of the population that uses their mobile devices to shop online, perform online banking and navigate through social media. Then Ofcom informed that 7 out of 10 adults use a smartphone, and it is likely that they will be used by people over the age of 65, as the public becomes even smarter.
For these reasons alone, it has become extremely important to invest in responsive web design; your company needs a website that works well on the screens of smartphones or other mobile devices, due to the large number of people who could use your website via a smartphone or tablet.
