Having a mobile-friendly website has become essential. Over 70% of all online searches for local businesses are done via mobile devices, and Google is now penalising websites that are not user-friendly on mobile.
Your customers expect it too. Did you know 40% of customers will choose a different search result if the first is not mobile-friendly? So not having a responsive website may actually be driving business to your competitors.
I like to keep my sites simple, using a 'mobile-first' approach to ensure they work great, both on mobile phones and tablets, as well as desktops. In this day and age you can't afford not to have a responsive website.
I never use pre-built templates or adapt a theme I've already used (but many other developers will). Every site I build is created from scratch. It's all bespoke, with the exception of a decent grid framework of course (because there's no point re-inventing the wheel!).
Unlike the majority of developers out there, I don't use Wordpress (in fact, I recommend against using it). Instead, I prefer Perch, a powerful little content management system. It's ideal for small to medium-sized sites, and has a user-friendly interface to boot.
of customer will leave a site that isn't mobile or tablet friendly
mobile customers are looking to make a purchase that day
say a bad mobile site puts them off engaging with a business
