Information technologies never stop evolving. As a matter of fact, we are witnessing their extremely rapid development in our digital era. This explosive development of digital technologies has led to increased mobility of Internet users. According to experts, the number of smartphone users will soon surpass the number of those using desktop computers and laptops. This means that more people will browse products in the World Wide Web through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. For example, there was the 35% yearly increase in online purchases through mobile devices in the United States in 2012. But the main problem for today’s online businesses is that not all sites are properly optimized for relatively small and diverse screen sizes of mobile phones and tablets. Google's research has revealed that 75% of online buyers prefer using mobile friendly websites, and 61% of web shoppers go to competitors once on a site not properly adapted for mobile devices. In our upcoming webinar we’ll discuss how to solve the responsive web design issue in order to help entrepreneurs keep up with the latest technologies on their way to success. - See more at: http://quartsoft.com/webinars/20130429-responsive-web-design

Anything that’s fixed and unresponsive isn’t web design anymore, it’s something else. If you
don’t embrace the inherent fluidity of the web, you’re not a web designer, you’re something
else. Web design is responsive design. Responsive Web Design is web design, done right.
