    Seems like responsive design has a niche client. But definitely not the need all be for everything. The designing for the lowest common denominator without any real reason except cause or a few people surf on phones is pointless. That kind of thinking is why slates still have to be in safe areas for the old tube tv's. And most adweek numbers of mobile growth never do specify their definitions of "mobile". Im wondering how much hardware they call mobile that has at least 1024 wide browser. Ultrabooks, tablets, and the like that can display pages fine. I really think its about the money. Easy to adjust templates and upsell for more money and less creativity and targeting. People always seem to forget to ask is responsive really necessary for this client anymore. Or better to just make a quickie mobile version straight forward.

    • Mobile traffic overtook desktop traffic last year. Designing for mobile and responsive is now very important.Hombre_Lobo
    • I was a bit vague, I'll try and get the stats and specific markets and post them...Hombre_Lobo
    • I do agree the term mobile can be vague though. I imagine it means non-desktop os in a lot of cases.Hombre_Lobo
    • Yea i read it took it over but everyone i ask says emial/facebook social shit. No real web surfing on phones. Tablets they do. I wish they be mroe thorough with there numbersdeathboy
    • i know people surf more with. Just not much on phones whenever i ask. Could be a small circle. But i wish they actually defined mobile as less than 400 px or soemthingdeathboy
    • would define mobile as browsers smaller than 400 pixels or a pixel per inch measurement of some sort. Laptops go mobile...deathboy
    • But still don't forget to ask is responsive really necessary for this client? Is this a site a mobile user will spend time on?deathboy
    • on?deathboy
    • I agree it's not always necessary, for small budgets certainly. But the world is getting more device diverse faster than ever,Hombre_Lobo
