Its not 2010 anymore though, very few people actually have limited data plans these days, especially when it comes to business clients (not specifically porn surfers).
Any designer who creates an image heavy website, responsive or not for a mobile site, may as well just create a Flash website for the mobile traffic.
I guess that is the difference between and amateur and a professional designer though ultimately.
The thing that amazes me the most about mobile website design is that, in non-adult, most company owners that *should* have mobile versions of their sites (or mobile apps for that matter) simply do not understand the benefits of doing so.
We have a limo service that needed a new website mid last year, told him we could streamline the reservation process for his clients by allowing the P.As, secretary's and office staff to access the site on mobile devices, he just gave us a blank look until we showed him what we meant.
He followed up with us a couple of weeks back and is getting around 60% more booking via his mobile site than standard one, which has actually increased his revenue about 25% he tells us
Some businesses do need mobile (or mobile friendly) versions of their sites, others however don't.
