Ajay: You are right about that. I have some sites that are built some years ago and I haven't updated to the html5 / responsive style. One site I will convert to a new up-to-date Wordpress template and the other site I will have a talk with the support department at Squarespace, on how to keep the nice design with a mobile friendly navigation.

Hi Lyceum,

I'm glad you found it useful. And yes, you should do that with every website you have. You don't want to give your visitors a bad experience when they view your website in their smartphones.
