I learned what constituted a good layout and how you start determines how the finished product looks.

Responsive Mobile Design is a Must


In 2014, mobile device usage toppled desktop
for the first time ever. Nearly half of all searches conducted now go
through a mobile device; 48% to be exact. This really gets put into
perspective knowing that Google alone processes roughly 1 trillion search queries per year. Furthermore, in an event dubbed “Mobilegeddon” Google just recently altered their algorithms to give responsive, mobile-friendly websites a boost in mobile searches.
