 * Hi,
 * Im pretty new to wordpress and I am building a website for my business. It needs
   to be responsive for mobile, so i was wondering for example, would i be able 
   to download a desktop theme from theme forest, and separately by a mobile theme
   then use a plugin that detects the device for which the user is browsing on, 
   which would then present the correct version. If thats the case would i then 
   need to duplicate the content everytime I update the site?
 * Cheers

 * For me, the best thing to do is buy or ask someone to develop responsive design
   for your business site, so it can be flexible in all devices, phone, tab, laptop
   desktop or even printer.
 * If ever you want to buy additional plugin to detect and display mobile theme 
   you don’t need to duplicate content.

 * [@olly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/olly/) – there are many “responsive”
   and mobile-first themes which will do what you want automatically on a single
   site. For example, look at twentytwelve – the newest default theme.
 * When looking at themes, look for “responsive” or other descriptions about how
   the theme works on different devices. There are various ways this is done in 
   the coding of a site, and the end result can vary, so doing some testing is always
   a good idea.
 * There are ways to have separate sites, but that’s probably a less ideal approach
   for a number of reasons.
