Over the past half-decade, the user experience has improved dramatically for those on mobile and touchscreen devices. I’m sure we’ve all experienced the frustration of browsing through Google results on a mobile, only to find that many websites are not responsive at all, with text that is too small to read without zooming, and long horizontal scrollbars. Or worse, sites that are completely broken and not navigable on small devices.
