Mobile traffic overtook desktop traffic in 2018. It is a paradigm shift in the approach of users.
This trend was envisioned much earlier by global search giant Google.
In November 2016, Google announced that it is going for a mobile-first approach for indexing the search results.
The process is known as graceful degradation in web development.
A mobile-first approach helps you in building better websites that support a wide array of features that would work in old browsers.
In progressive enhancement, we follow a bottom-up approach in which we design the website for the most used platform first, and then gradually scale up to enhance its compatibility with other platforms.
Having such an approach allows the designers to include the most important features first and then scale-up to include the other elements.
