As designers we have to face the fact that the way a page is constructed is vital.

With the release of new mobile devices, that have the operability of a PC, the web will be increasingly viewed on them, thus a web page will look completely different on a smaller display.
Therefore we must design for the web, using a simple layout with clear and concise content, so people can find what they are looking for, even on smaller screens.
