What is a Responsive Website?
It is a type of web design that adapts its layout to the device that you are viewing it on. It doesn’t matter if you are on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile device, responsive websites are built to fit any and every device.
How to Know if My Website is Responsive.
To test your website for mobile responsiveness start by opening up a browser window on your computer and typing in your website address. Once the page is loaded grab the side of your browser window and pull it in to make the page smaller, like it would be on a mobile device or tablet.
If your website reformats itself to fit the new size, you have a responsive website, and you are half way there.
Now just take some time to brows the entire website and make sure that the automatic reformatting looks right on phones and tablets. However, just because your website is responsive doesn’t necessarily mean that each element has been coded to respond correctly.
What if My Website Is Not Responsive?
