You may often here the term “responsive” when discussing website programming, but do you understand what it means? The term responsive website is used to describe a site that adapts to the device it is being viewed on to give the audience the optimal viewing and interaction experience.

Many sites now have a mobile version of them, but still may not be responsive in terms of viewing the site on laptops / desktops with different screen sizes. Also some tables do not automatically show the mobile version of a website, so therefore it is a good idea to make sure that your desktop version is programmed in a responsive way.

In order to do this, the code for the site must be written in a certain way, for example, you will need to use percentages for sizes rather than fixed pixel widths / heights. If you are unsure as to if your site is responsive then why not log in to Google Webmaster Tools and check it there.
