What Is Responsive Web Design?
Mobile Friendly Web Design (also known as Responsive Web Design) makes your website automatically resize itself to fit as many different device sizes as possible.
This way, you can provide the best possible viewing experience for your website visitors.
Of course, there are other ways you can improve your business website. However, responsive and mobile friendly website design is definitely the first place to start.
It is absolutely critical in the modern internet age that websites are being designed and developed with a focus on mobile responsive practices because so many people are now browsing the web on their mobile devices.

Why Use Mobile Friendly Web Design Practices?
Better User Experience
Websites that adapt to fit the current viewport makes for a great experience for the user. It can be frustrating trying to use websites designed only for a laptop or desktop computer screen on a mobile phone or small handheld device. This frustration usually causes the user to leave the website and find something else that is easier to use.
A responsive design will serve up the correct sized page, often with reduced image sizes to limit the data usage and create an optimum viewing experience for the potential customer. This will make the user stay on your website and provide you with the best opportunity to make a conversion or get a lead.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) Benefits
Google has stated that it will rank web sites higher in organic search results that employ responsive design techniques as it is now considered best practice. The use of a single URL with the responsive design makes it easy for search engines to crawl and index a website. If you want your site to achieve the best search engine rankings possible, it needs to be responsive.

So your responsive website is creating a better user experience, lowering your bounce rate and increasing the search engine relevancy and page rankings.
