There used to be a time, when websites were mere electronic extensions of the physical world. Lately, this parameter has turned on its head. Some of the most successful businesses today are run on websites, and those using the physical world are also integrating the website dimension. So, you might be a big company trying to establish its web presence, or a blogger who wants the world to listen to him or an artist who has something to show to the world, or maybe just a developer putting his skills on test- the most important aspect of any website is its Responsiveness. No matter how cool the graphics are, or how useful the content is.
