mobile websites

[Ron Gilmour]

I didn't want to maintain multiple versions of the site, so went the
responsive route using Bootstrap.

Bootstrap makes the whole responsive thing pretty easy and it has lots of
neat toys baked in. (Of course, what I call "neat toys baked in," others
may call "bloated code.") Or they may just call it mixing a metaphor.
