About The Retail Industry

The Retail industry generates around 19% of Global GDP and employs approximately 9% of the World population. Any organisation that sells a finished good to a consumer is generally considered to be a retailer. Historically, retail outlets originated from local markets where traders could exchange goods and services. Towns, villages and entire cities originated from a trading centre.

Responsive web design is not the same as mobile-friendly website design. Mobile design entails creating an entirely new website or web app with content specifically created for the mobile experience. Responsive Design, on the other hand, means that the same domain, the same content, and the same syntax…respond to different viewports (screen sizes) to provide the best user experience possible for each device. (Source: What is Responsive Design?, Ugurus).
