What Is Responsive Web Design?

Monday, January 9th, 2012

Website viewing on tablet devices and smartphones always required special efforts in web design. The screen size varies and hence the page needs to be customized to be viewable on the screen of the tablet. Earlier, this was handled by developing separate URL’s for tablets. Recently, a new concept called responsive web design has evolved. This accommodates various screen sizes and enables viewing of websites on mobile devices with ease.

This is made possible with the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheet). This allows you to call various attributes depending on the size of the screen detected by the code. Well, you can even customize it to suit the orientation of the device.

So, for web design experts, it’s important to take into account of this as the mobile and smartphone usage has been on the rise for quite some time now. Well, it will definitely impact the time and budget, as you may have to consider the needs of the mobile viewers in your web design and design content, images and other aspects of the website. Take a wise decision depending on your resources.
