Responsive Design<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, online sales from mobile devices cover a big spectrum. In fact, mobile commerce accounts for more than <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigcommerce.com\/blog\/mobile-commerce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">31% of total online sales<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, your website needs to display clearly on a portable device as well. In order to avoid creating a second, mobile website, make your desktop version look great by choosing a responsive template.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your sales (and your visitors) will thank you later!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2.
