2 Free Responsive Design Tools

Whether you're considered a Direct-2-Consumer (D2C), Business-2-Consumer (B2C), or Business-2-Business (B2B), having a functional website that presents itself on a mobile device in a usable and visually pleasing way is a critical competitive advantage for a business. Consider any business that's inviting potential customers or clients/partners to learn more about their brand. An organization will want their audience to enjoy their time on their website and leave satisfied that their questions were answered making a positive impression.

As the owner of your website, you possess the capability to create and edit your own website at any given time. If you have an internal team that handles this, or hired a digital marketing agency to manage your website content, having the ability to update your website quickly can determine how adaptable your brand is to your audience.

When designing your website, creating a landing page, posting news / blog, or creating new website components, there are a few tools that can benefit your team to design for responsiveness (mobile-friendly) and appeal to your audience's taste.
