Respond to your site or sales will shrink

This article was first published by  dmcityview.com Let’s do a little experiment. Pull out your phone quick and plug in your company’s website. Now you either see one of two things; either a shrunken recreation of the website you’ve grown used to seeing on your desktop or a neatly rearranged version of your site’s content and navigation perfectly scaled for your phone’s screen. If you found the neat version, congratulations your company is using responsive design and meeting the expectations of the modern consumer; however, if you found the shrunken facsimile let’s spend the next 300 words explaining why you need to embrace responsive design.

Restaurants, hotels, retail stores, hardware stores, car rental companies, and so many others have built their fortunes on back of others hustling their wares. For a tech equivalent look no further than Microsoft, the behemoth of tech franchising. Instead of vertically integrating it's entire production line from software, hardware, manufacturing, shipping, all the way to sales, Microsoft has only worried about writing the software and left the rest to business partners. It made Microsoft unspeakably rich and helped build up countless manufacturing giants like Hewlett Packard, Dell, and Lenovo. Now after decades of franchising, Microsoft has decided to try something new with its Surface Book Pro line of laptops.
