  1. It is definitely true that in this age as website owners we need to be properly catering for the smart phone users. I am finding that more and more of my active users are utilising phones or tablets, and as a result I decided to take the leap to create my own web app. I would highly recommend that other website owners at least consider using responsive design, and maybe invest the time + effort as it is more than worth it.
