Why do we need responsive web design?

Modified on Tue, 13 Jun, 2023 at 11:49 AM

All websites now need to use responsive design, for the simple reason that so many people view web pages using mobile devices. Responsive websites are designed so that they automatically scale their content and elements to match the screen size on which they are being viewed. If this is not done, users have to do a lot of extra work to read your content, by for instance scrolling the viewing window from left to right as well as the normal up and down. Also, Google is known to penalise non-responsive websites, giving them a poorer rank in their results.
