Practical Design Considerations for Responsive Sites

It’s all in the in between

The Internet is being accessed by people everywhere on countless incredibly varying devices and responsive pages provide an easy and functional way to account for these differences. There has been a lot of discussion lately regarding the techniques involved in responsive design from a technical standpoint: media queries, percent based widths, etc. However, once you master the CSS tricks for implementing a responsive design, you’re faced with a much bigger hurdle: the actual design.

The point of this article is to get you to stop thinking about the backend portion of responsive design long enough to consider the ramifications of this technique on what the user sees. Far more important than media query syntax is the end result of how your design evolves from a visual and functional standpoint to meet the user’s needs.
