Small business owners with a website of their own need to keep in mind how their users and target audience will use the site; will they open it to browse on their desktop, are they having breakfast while quickly scrolling through it on the phone, or somewhere in between…?  As a business owner, it’s your responsibility to consider all the possible uses of your product, and then design and build accordingly.
