Does not make sense to discuss the benefits of e-commerce – they are obvious.
But now E-commerce site must be responsive! Mobile commerce will grow owing to increased device sale and penetration. Of course, there is the option of providing users with an app that transfers some of the processing to the user’s device. Today, however, people are very reluctant to install another application on the smartphone, only exception is for those applications that need to store regular access. Additionally, the application must be made for each platform. That’s why responsive design is so necessary for online shopping sites.
Now the most responsive e-commerce themes look beautifully on handheld devices and use functionality of touch screen devices such as tapping a touchscreen for work with data and navigation, but often do not take into account the less memory space, low connection speed and a weaker processor of mobile devices.
