Abstract


Native apps have become the norm of mobile interaction with digital services, but it’s an expensive way to reach users. With responsive web design, a more inclusive and accessible experience can be crafted for all mobile users instead of just a majority. This article describes the move from a native library app to a responsive website, and why it is right for the future.
