Responsive Web design ensures your site looks great on mobile phones and tablet devices too
According to the Media Behavior Institute, 43.5 percent of its survey participants accessed the Internet via a mobile phone each week during the period ending in January 2013, an 8-percentage-point increase over the period ending in July 2012. I have observed this same trend in hotel websites in the state of Hawaii, with in some cases mobile access reaching close to 50 percent of monthly website traffic.
