If you would rather not deal with tools in your browser there are several website out there that will allow you to view your site or any site and test responsiveness.

BrowserStack is one of the paid sites I came across. Not sure why anyone would want to pay for something your browser will do for free. On the other hand if nobody was buying they would be there, right?

I found another at responsivetest.net and the devices listed led me to believe the site is a bit out of date. So, maybe that's it! There was a need, thus a market for sites like these before the browsers caught up.

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and hope that it helps someone. If you haven't been checking mobile view or responsiveness you are missing the boat. If your building an online business you really have to do this.

As mentioned most browsers will display a reponsive view if you change the size of the browser. If all this is just too much to bother with simply click the corner of your browser window and drag it in. You will get a good idea of what your site looks like on mobile devices and that's what really matters.

Thanks for visiting!
