When it comes to your small business website, responsive design can really give your online business a boost. A responsive website will automatically adjust to whatever device a visitor is viewing it on—whether it’s a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. And with so many customers using mobile to access your website, responsive design makes it easy to ensure every visitor has a seamless experience.
Pair responsive design with WordPress, the powerful—and free—web hosting platform that powers countless websites from personal and small business to international corporations, and you’ve got a winning combination.
