FEATURED STORY
 |
With the rise of smartphones and other mobile devices, it's becoming more crucial for companies to have a website optimized for the mobile audience.
With Sitecore's separation of content and presentation, editors can create an item once and have that item be rendered for the correct device. In addition, Sitecore automatically detects the device making the request and provides the appropriate layout.
