What is Responsive Web Design?

Nov. 27, 2012 - PRLog -- Responsive web design (sometimes abbreviated to RWD) is a type of web design in which a site is created to give the best viewing experience to the end user — the main idea being that a site should be pleasing to view and easy to read across a whole spectrum of devices with particular emphasis placed on a sites appearance on the growing number of mobile devices.

Mobile browsing is expected to overtake desktop-based browsing in the very near future, possible within 3 years. Two of the top three leading game consoles have browsers (and one of them is very good indeed). The reality is that we’re faced with a greater number of devices, input modes, and browsers than ever before, and that number is set to continue increasing.

Content Media Guru predict as many as 7 or 8 new devices in the next 18 months.

A website that is fully responsive can be viewed correctly whether a device is held in ‘portrait’ position or ‘landscape’ position. The actual information displayed such as text and images may have to vary slightly between the 2 views.

Businesses are becoming aware of the need to have a website that will be responsive but a lot of people have made the mistake of only thinking about changing their site for, say, iPhones – but really you need to be thinking about all devices especially - not just current ones.

There’s no doubt mobile devices are here to stay and new devices are or will be in development all the time. Your website needs to be ready to automatically adapt to these devices.

The smart business has a site that has ‘Responsive Web Design’ already built in - so no matter what format or screen – your site will look great!
