In a nut shell – I should coco!
Did you know that in 2019, 79% of web traffic was from a mobile devices including tablets.
This means that if you only have a desktop version of your website, at the most, 21% of people will stick around and browse your site.
You may find some of the people may attempt to browse on a smart phones or a tablet and try and pinch and zoom, but they’ll soon tire of doing that

So traffic in July & August 2019 show that 21 / 22% of traffic is desktop, the rest is tablet or a massive 67 / 68% on mobile smart phones.
From these figures alone, making your website responsive* or mobile friendly is a no brainer.

- Links are spaced adequately apart so you don’t click on the wrong link
- The website automatically adjusts to your screen size
