Learn Here How to Determine Your Approach

First, discover what mobile-first design is—and, importantly, why and when would you consider it over or in addition to responsive.

Actually, deciding between responsive design and mobile-first design is simpler than you might think. Start by taking a look at your own Google analytics, your budget, and your business trends 3-years out to discover how and when people access your site, now and likely in the future. Consider some user testing. Then voila, take it from there and address the needs of your customer base, be they desktop, mobile, or a true combination inspiring two separate sites.
