The reality is that creating responsive websites for mobile devices is a skill every single web designer needs to learn, unless they want to be left behind when the industry, and its customers, moves forwards. One of the key areas to focus on when looking at the typography for a mobile site is a better understanding of
audience behaviour and need; if you can gain a better understanding of that then your mobile web
typography will improve dramatically as a result.

The only downside I can see in WordPress is that sometimes installing a WP theme may be a little bit too tricky to my liking.

I’ve been working in web design related projects for almost 10 years now, and I have to admit – I still don’t know how to install many of the products. I do know though how to install the most popular ones, those being Website Templates and WordPress Themes. So I decided to share this useful knowledge with you.
