Resizing text, adjusting spacing, nudging things until the phone version feels as good as the desktop one. Yeah, we've been thinking about that one.Designing for mobile has always felt like a second pass. You build the website on desktop, then go and "fix" it on mobile, which is essentially twice the work for one website...

But if you already have a Rocketspark website, yo...
