Responsive website design has been gaining a lot of traction in recent years.

Simply stated, responsive web design is when a designer creates a website that “reacts” to the type of device it’s being viewed on; the design and display of the site will be altered depending on whether it’s being viewed on a smartphone, tablet or oversized computer monitor.

If you think this isn’t an important feature to consider, you’re wrong. Google gives preference to websites that are optimized for mobile. If yours isn’t easy to view on a handheld device, your website ranking can and will suffer.
