Re: Responsive Design

You know, ever since I got my iPhone I've wondered how sites know that I'm using an iPhone and not a full size computer. In the past year, I've noticed that most sites I go to on my iPhone are formatted so I can see actually use the site. However, have any of you ever tried going to a local website (like a restaurant) on your smartphones? The page takes FOREVER to load, and it usually isn't formatted properly so it is extremely difficult to navigate. I don't design websites professionally, so I'm not sure about the logistics, but I'm assuming the smaller companies don't have the resources to code their mobile sites properly..?
