So Many Different Screens
Nowadays, it is extremely important to have your web site viewable on not only computers but also on mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. That's where Responsive Web Design comes in.
A Quick History of Mobile Web Design
In the early days of mobile devices, websites were simply shrunk in size to fit on the smaller screens. Users would have to pinch and zoom with their fingers to magnify the words to be legible. This made websites almost unusable. As these devices gained in popularity, developers began creating separate mobile websites for their clients in addition to the main website that was designed to look good on large computer screens. However, developers now had to keep track of 2 websites which proved to be too unwieldy and expensive for everyone.
Responsive Web Design To The Rescue
Responsive Web Design allows for one single fluid design that adapts to mobile devices with ease. The layout dynamically changes to look it's best on any screen; the navigation buttons are folded into a small menu, the size of text and graphics are altered to read more easily, and the need to pinch and zoom is eliminated.
It Takes More Than A Template
Responsive Web Design is an art in itself. The website should be designed from the ground up with mobile in mind, tested and tweaked until it looks the best it can be on every screen size.
