Yes, that’s how anyone who visits your website feels if it’s not mobile friendly or mobile responsive.

So how will create  a design that will perfectly meet the needs of your business. Not to worry, WordPress has plenty of themes, starting with free ones to paid ones or free-paid if there is anything like that. All you have to do is to simply chose which one is good for your business.
