Responsive Web Design

Responsive Web Design – Necessity not Luxury It is difficult to come across a client who says that I don’t want mobile version of my website. Only a naïve person can ignore the fact that half of the web traffic is on mobile now. No doubt it is difficult to tackle every new resolution or device. It is virtually impossible or at least impractical to create website version for each resolution. We can’t afford to lose visitors on one device to increase number of visitors on other device. Responsive web design is the answer.

What is responsive web design?

Responsive web design looks great at any size- if website is opened on large LCD monitor, look will be good and if website is opened on small smart phone screen, look will be good. Not only looks even performance is similar. Responsive design ensures similar experience for visitors on devices of all shapes and sizes.

Responsive web design techniques

Responsive data tables

Data tables are usually wide. If you zoom out then whole table will be visible but text size would be too small to read. You can zoom in to make it readable but then you will need to scroll horizontally and vertically both to browse the table. One solution is reformatting of the table. Another option can be to display a pie-chart but best solution would be to convert the table into mini-graphic for narrow screens.

Responsive navigation menus

Regular row of links can be converted into a dropdown menu if the browser window is narrow. On small screens dropdown menu can be far better than regular format for big screen. When user clicks the dropdown then he or she will get an interface to select options.
