Most of the world has gone mobile and it’s now the preferred choice for surfing the web. Today businesses need a mobile website design if they want to reach customers on mobile devices.

There are two common approaches to mobile sites and these are responsive web design and standalone (or separate like m.mobile.com).

If you choose to use a separate approach, you may encounter duplicate content issues with search engines. Also, you’ll most likely have to update both versions of your site whenever an update is made. Not very convenient, is it?
