Responsive design in its turn has become the go-to technique for creating websites for different screen sizes. The issue of limited space creates this challenge. The biggest challenge the mobile-first approach has is having to decide on the core message and the most important content. Why is this the way it is? Well, more and more businesses understand that mobile web browsing is taking the central place on the market, so naturally more clients want to know how their website will look on mobile before they see the desktop website. Web designers tend to start with mobile version and expand it for desktop. Now, though, it is usually the other way around. So what’s changed in 2017? Well, previously you would design a desktop website first, and then adopt the design for small screens.

If you are not new to the webs design industry, you know that responsive web design is nothing new and it has been on the radar for a few years now.
