Responsive design is now a priority for clients. Gone are the days when you used to provide suggestions only for desktop websites.
And that is the way to go because technology is only going to improve over time. There are many sites today that have opted for dynamic or parallel websites but I think in time, these would revert to responsive design because maintenance of the other two is a lot of effort.
