The
reality
is
that
when

users
in
Africa,
naOve
mobile
web
sites
will
give
you
the

reach
across
ALL

However,
as
inexpensive
smartphones
take
off
and
data

become
more
affordable,
users
want

and
therefore
responsive

are
becoming
more
important.
Therefore,
what

for

Web
Sites
designed
for

In
Africa,
where
the
majority
of
Internet
access
is
mobile,
this
is
probably
the
best
way
to
go
for
mobile

However,
naOve
mobile
web

tend
to
be
very
basic
so
that
they
can

26. Responsive
Web
Design
(RWD)
The
term
“Responsive
Web
Design”
(RWD)
was
first
quoted
by

RWD
provides
an
opOmal

with
a
minimum
of

panning,
and
scrolling—across
a
wide
range
of
devices
(from
desktop
computers
to
mobile
phones)
RWD
uses
CSS3

and
flexible

28. The
“reality”
of
RWD
Its

“end

for
mobile.
It’s
a
compromise
of
sorts.
CSS3

mean
it
will

This

are

for

of

–

and

However,
experience
has
shown
that
in
Africa,
simple
text-­‐based
mobile
ads
outperform
display
and
rich
media
ads,
at
the
moment.
A
big
driver
in
Africa
is
that
most
mobile
devices
are
feature
phones
and
not
smart

or
tablets.
