This is so that the user is provided with аn optimal reading and viewing experience. Assuring that your website is responsive enables users tо easily navigate the contents оf your website and find the information they want whether they come to your website from a computer, a tablet, or smart phone.

Great read…responsive design has radically altered they way I design/produce websites for my clients. Today you have to have a website that works on any platform, mobile, tablet, or desktop/laptop. It is a show stopper if you are not considering it when redesigning or designing for a client. Responsive design is as critical if not more than content when it comes to developing a highly effective web strategy.

The first statement in this article is wrong. Responsive design doesn’t adjust and adapt it’s self to device. It adjusts to screen size, whereas Adaptive web design adjusts to specific device.

This is why my site is being redesigned to do so now. My wife has a tablet and my daughter, the new iPod Touch. Both are quicker to establish a connection and get going and so they are preferred over the old desktop. I prefer the larger monitor myself, but it sure isn’t very portable. Add to that all the free Wifi nowadays and you actually see where the logic of designing small first and allowing it to expand makes more sense. Wifi and its increasing availability has really changed the internet design.
