Basic Tips About Responsive Design


Frameworks

• •

While choosing a CSS framework is largely down to ideology and personal preference, incorporating one into your responsive workflow has a variety of benefits. It can speed up the development process, normalize common cross-browser compatibility issues and offer a structured, grid-based approach, all of which are invaluable features when creating a responsive website.


Organize Based on Importance

Organization and structure of page elements is different for mobile phones vs. desktops. To create a mobile device template, reorder the sections from your desktop version into full-width sections.


 Prioritize your content

When a user views a website through a mobile or any other low resolution screen he intends to access the main content of the website rather than losing nerve over navigating through unnecessary Ads. Removal of non essential content elements facilitates a user to navigate through your website from low resolution screens.


Pay Attention to your Breakpoints

Common resolutions can be sorted in 6 major break points. • •

Focus on major break points. Set full desktop version above 1024px.


• Flexible grids use columns to organize content, and relative instead of fixed width to adapt the viewport size. • Fluid layout is the best way to be ready for any kind of screen size or orientation.


Make your Images Flexible and Workable

With a simple design, you can make your images flexible as well to a certain degree. The easiest way to accomplish this is by simply using adaptative sizing and resizing their width.


Allow Compression of Site Elements and Content

Use a program such as GZIP to compress your page resources for easier transmission across networks. You’ll have lowered the number of bytes sent per page or element and made your content easier to browse and access from devices with varying or low bandwidth.
