With responsive design, your website will be readable on devices with different display dimensions as it takes care of varying height and width.

WordPress also has a few themes that are based on the responsive web design fundamentals.

Once you have done the infrastructure work to get your web site or application responsive, you can leverage the work across iPhones, Android Phones, iPad, PC, Facebook Application etc., so you can focus your work on the other part of the application instead of rendering.

This is also great for content websites, where the focus usually is getting good content and the design should let the content shine through regardless of the medium that the user is accessing your website from.

This may not be perfect, and you may have to iterate for specific devices, and even put some conditional rules for IE, but certainly better to think about this holistically and before starting the project.

Came across this article that’s an interesting commentary on how to pitch VC’s and just in general on how to talk about your startup or idea.

Often times VCs are pretty short in conversation – I think that’s because they get pitched thousands of times, and they want to get to the decision points as soon as possible.
