Google just made an important change to its search algorithm — it will start favoring mobile responsive websites over sites that aren’t.

That’s a big deal — especially for small- to medium-size companies that may not have had a chance to update their site over the past couple years.
Also, how easy is your website to use? Can visitors find what they want quickly? Does functionality encourage people to explore in a purposeful manner?
These are all questions of how well the design has been engineered. User experience design involves planning, research, design, and testing to maximize the experience for the widest range of users.
But in recent years, responsive design for mobile devices has become a whole additional layer to consider when planning user experience design. When your site is properly designed to display on mobile devices it will provide a better experience for a wider range of users. For consumer brands, it can also simplify the sales process for their customers.
