Responsive Web Design - The Future of E-Commerce
As the number of different ways to access the internet increases, web design is evolving. Providing a seamless experience across a range of devices is essential for e-commerce businesses as consumer preferences change; responsive web design is therefore the future of e-commerce.
Responsive web design involves creating a single website that can be accessed without difficulty on any internet-capable device. As the website is accessed, descriptive information is transmitted about the device being used, information that can then be used by the website to deliver the most appropriate content. Through the use of scripts, style sheets and several other methods, the website will appear in its most appropriate form for the device being used to access it, meaning such issues as incorrect display resolution are instantly solved. As the basic website is the same, the need to design different sites for each device is eliminated, making responsive web design an incredibly cost-effective method of providing a unified internet experience across the ever-growing range of mobile devices.
