If you are thinking about hiring a website design agency to work on your blog, virtual store or what not, one of the most important things you should discuss with them is what they would do to make your web design responsive. 
Responsive Web Designing – What Is It?
The design or layout of your website may be referred to as ‘responsive’ if it literally responds to the needs of your user. No matter what kind of activity you are engaged with online, you will always only have two types of users:
• Mobile users include those who use smartphones, tablets, mobile phones, and other kinds of mobile devices to access your website.
• Desktop users include those who use laptops and PCs to go online.
A responsive website is designed in such a way that the needs of both users are immediately addressed.
Navigation-friendly
Mobile devices would always have smaller screens, and as such you need to make sure that your website is quick and easy to navigate. Scrolling should be done either horizontally or vertically but never both! As for links, you might want to think about increasing the use of buttons rather than plain text links. If a link is too small for people to click easily with their thumbs, they might prefer to find something else – outside your website – to click instead!
A Perfect Fit
Every page of your website must perfectly fit the screen no matter what kind of mobile device or browser your visitor is using. When adapting a mobile design for your site, you may need to tinker a bit with the size of your layout. Some columns would have to be longer rather than wider while photos would have to be smaller. All of these changes must be completed by the time your homepage loads on the screen.
Strategic Photo Selection
More often than not people have to rely on slightly slower connection speeds when they go online using a mobile device. As such, it would take more time than usual for pages to load on their screens. You need to be very careful with the images you choose to upload to your site since photos and other types of graphics can significantly lengthen the loading time. Images must also be effectively resized to fit mobile designs without making it any less clear.
Mobile Services
Mobile users rarely visit a particular website without a specific reason. With that in mind, you need to dig deep and find out what those reasons could be and make sure that your website’s services would answer your user’s needs. It’s totally fine not to offer all the services and features that your desktop website offers. Focusing on the services that mobile users most need ensures that they waste as little time as possible browsing your site.
Interactive
Finally, remember that mobile users are likely to be very active on the social front. As such, your mobile website must be designed with a high degree of interaction in mind. Social media must be fully integrated in a way that would not require users to leave your site if they find something worth tweeting or sharing on Facebook.
