Responsive websites respond well to a multitude of devices, platforms and screens.
Responsive web design and development is a technique that builds a web system that adjusts well for any environment, based on the device, the platform and the screen size.
“Today, anything that’s fixed and unresponsive isn’t web design, it’s something else. If you don’t embrace the inherent fluidity of the web, you’re not a web designer, you’re something else. Web design is responsive design, Responsive Web Design is web design, done right.”—Andy Clark
For many web design and development companies, creating highly adaptive presentations isn’t an easy shift. When we design a responsive website, we create a flexible grid foundation that’s supported by image fluidity and specific media queries.
Our new website is responsive. When you view this post from your desktop, you may see navigation, archives and various other page elements. As you re-size your web browser, you’ll see these page elements shift, change or disappear to optimize your viewing experience. The site layout is flexible, maximizing one powerful business tool.
One site for every screen looks good for any business, but why is it critical for 2013?
Shortly after the tech-blogging site Mashable.com launched its new responsive website design, Pete Cashmore writes, “2013 will be the year that responsive design takes off.”
We blogged about the sudden rise in mobile web browsing. In January, we hosted a webinar that reported on key mobile web browsing statistics. With an increase in mobile web browsing and solid indicators that support an environment-agnostic solutions for businesses ready for a redesign, we’re excited about what responsive can do for you.
A responsive website allows you to effectively and efficiently appeal to all your visitors.
What we’ve focused on for the past two years for most clients is a mobile-first approach, and responsive website design and development is now a key component of any plan.
Responsive Web Design author and thought leader Ethan Marcotte writes, “We’re designing work meant to be viewed along a gradient of different experiences. Responsive web design offers us a way forward, finally allowing us to design for the ebb and flow of things.”
