    This is the way forward, responsive to all mediums rather than have a separate site for mobile and the web. We currently have a client that needs convincing, time and money always play a part.

    Although initially it can be more expensive to make a fully responsive site from scratch, in the long run, money will be saved maintaining two sites. However, some cases can argue against this as there are other technological reasons for not going responsive. But if bbc can do it, anyone can.

      I disagree, I'm still of the opinion that it depends on the content and situation. I'm especially against the generic snap point responsive templates that are absolutely everywhere at the moment, all they're doing is shuffling content to fit the page, not serving it to me suitably. This works as it's a news site, but I don't think it's as easy as saying everyone should go responsive.
