Responsive Web Design in 2022 and Where to Get Started
Responsive web design is all about creating websites that look good on all platforms! From laptops, wide desktop monitors, to cell phones and tablets, responsive web designs conform to look great on any screen. A responsive web design will automatically adjust to fit any screen or viewpoint.
So what exactly is responsive web design and how can a creative media team help you create one to meet your brand’s needs? We’ll explain in the post below.
SO WHAT IS RESPONSIVE WEB DESIGN?
Responsive web design uses HTML and CSS to automatically shrink, expand, or hide elements to make it look good on any screen. This creates multiple web experiences tailored to the viewer’s context and viewpoint. Responsive web design is now a standard practice as it is essential that your audience be able to access and comfortably explore your content from any device.
Here’s an example: While a questionnaire might look nice expanded on a desktop web browser, it may be better to add a lightbox button on a mobile browser where space is more limited.
Additionally, it may look nice to add an effect on the mouse’s pointer when a desktop user hovers over a link, but it wouldn’t be necessary on mobile devices, as most of these users will be scrolling and clicking using their finger.
WHAT ARE RESPONSIVE IMAGES?
Responsive images are images that scale to fit nicely on any browser page. Using codes we create a constraint to prevent rich media files from exceeding the dimensions of their containers.
We use CSS codes that create a “flexible container” which resizes itself (as well as the image within) specific to the dimensions of the screen.
WHAT IS RESPONSIVE TEXT?
Using HTML and CSS, text can be automatically adjusted to fit the browser screen and size.
Mobile phones and tablets make up almost 57% of global internet usage so it’s important to review your content for readability on all types and sizes of screens.
WHAT IS A RESPONSIVE WEB PAGE?
A responsive web page should look good on any device. Using responsive images, text, and code we can create a web page that will be functional and visually pleasing across the board.
