 * I am not new to website design, did 14 years doing brochure types.Now just starting
   with WP and trying out various plugins before finding new clients.
 * I want to specialise in designs for mobile devices, therefore I only need to 
   use images that have enough resolution to look good on that size of device. The
   problem is if my website is viewed on a 17 inch or larger the images look fuzzy.
 * Is there a way to get the theme to select a low resolution (small) image for 
   one size of screen and a high resolution (lsrge) image for larger screens, on
   the fly, and without me having to use any code? Or is my question redundant because
   themes do the compression automatically? I ask because I just don’t know enough
   about the technology of PHP, maybe what I have is normal.
 * [My site](http://www.seomobile.website) is not what I call polished so please
   no derogative comments. Have a look at the header image on a phone and it is 
   good, then look on a largish laptop or bigger and the header looks poor. The 
   picture is 1200 pix wide.
 * Thanks Greg

 * Possibly this plugin? [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-retina-2x/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-retina-2x/)
 * BTW, your site shows this?
 * Theme: mobile by Greg Sinclair
 * But the style.css file shows:
