Mobile Web Development Trends

Mobile is such a loaded term nowadays. If someone builds a "mobile website," it is considered "responsive" and the website looks great no matter what device you're viewing it on. But when building a new website, what tools do you use to help in your mobile journey? It's not as easy to just slap HTML, CSS, and JavaScript onto a page and you're done. There are many factors and considerations when designing the website for mobile responsiveness.

The continuing trend of websites lately is to have a mobile-first focus and having it work on numerous devices.

Desktop. LARGE desktops. Laptops. Tablets. Smartphones. TVs for Pete's sake!

Developers and designers don't focus on just building a website, but a website that works across these multiple devices.

However, it's not as hard as it was 10 years ago. The tools weren't mature enough and had some drawbacks with browser inconsistencies.

Fast forward to today. Mobile development is now a mainstream topic for developers and designers to integrate yet another technology into websites to provide the maximum experience to their audience on whatever device they are holding at the time.

Mobile tools are becoming more important as the amount of smartphone users expands rapidly across the globe. EVERYONE is using their phone for the Internet. Some people don't even have a computer or laptop with a router or Internet service in their house. They only have their phone along with a unlimited data plan to access the Internet.
