Bootstrap provides some handful helper classes, for faster mobile-friendly development. These can be used for showing and hiding content by device via media query, combined with large, small, and medium devices.
Use these sparingly and avoid creating entirely different versions of the same site. Responsive utilities are currently only available for block and table toggling.
