How could responsive web design benefit you and your company? Well, nowadays most people tend to use their mobiles/tablets instead of lugging around various bits of machinery like their laptops, this is simply because it is more convenient to carry around, and takes up less room. The majority of devices allow people to access the internet, so what’s the point? This means that company’s websites need to be able to re-adjust quickly to match the screen size of the device it is being shown on, otherwise the website will become pointless when used on any other device that is not a computer.

2. They are easier to manage, having one baby is easier than two right? Updates will apply themselves to the website on all devices.
