Why should a mobile website be different from a desktop website?
Mobile sites avoid using promotional and marketing graphics and use minimal graphics for navigation. Various types of navigation are available on desktop Web sites. Some are global, so are consistent across a site, while others are contextual and change depending on where users are on a site.
Does iPad use desktop websites?
Use Desktop Site on iPad
If you don't see the websites loading in desktop mode, you need to make a similar setting tweak (as we did on iPhone) on iPad. Step 1: Open iPad Settings. Step 2: Go to the Safari app. Step 3: Select the Request Desktop Website option.
Should you use responsive designs instead of having separate sites for computers and mobiles?
Responsive sites can also be easier to maintain than separate mobile sites. With just one url, any changes are made to one site vs. having to make changes to go in and update two separate sites. Most importantly, same functionality and content is used on all versions of a responsive site.
