Q: How do I make sure my website is mobile-friendly?
A: A Responsive Design
A responsive website will adjust to fit in any screen size, whether it’s a desktop, tablet, laptop or your smartphone. When building a responsive design, developers will consider how elements like buttons, menus and images can be rearranged and scaled down to create the best possible experience for mobile users.
To check whether your website has a responsive design,
