CLOUD DREAMS - Responsive Web Design

CLOUD DREAMS – Responsive Web Design (RWD)

          Almost every new client these days wants a mobile version of their website. It’s practically essential after all: one design for the BlackBerry, another for the iPhone, the iPad, netbook, Kindle and all screen resolutions must be compatible, too.

Responsive Web Design

Responsive Web Design will help us to fulfil the client’s need. It is the process of making the website to be viewed in all the devices like desktop, laptop, smartphones and tablets. It makes the reading process very easy and smooth so that there will be a minimum of resizing and scrolling which will help for optimal viewing of the website.

          Nowadays most of the website is viewed through smartphones and tablet, the website will change its layout according to the screen's resolution. So that it will be very easy for the users to access the site from any device they use. This role is played by the Responsive Web Design. Auto-simplification is possible only with the help of RWD.

          There are a number of web design patterns introduced in the world. Even though only some of the RWD works well on both desktop and smartphones. Responsive Web Pages are classified with the help of the following steps:

Screen Flexibility:

          It helps us to view the website in all the devices by changing its fluid grid according to the screen size and resolution so that there won't be any difference in the website layout between the large and smaller screen. The content flow will be perfect according to the screen’s pixels.

Custom Layout:

Custom Layout

          For extreme resolution changes, we may want to change the layout altogether or by separate pages. In this, we can change the elements in each and every page with width, height and so on. If the style sheet made the layout short, wide or tall, we can detect and identify and switch to a new style sheet.

  

Media Queries:

The min-width property sets a minimum browser or screen width that a certain set of styles would apply to. If anything is below this limit, the style sheet link or styles will be ignored. The max-width property does just the opposite. Anything above the maximum browser or screen width specified would not apply to the respective media query.

Showing or Hiding Content:

          It is possible to shrink things proportionally and rearrange elements as necessary to make everything fit as a screen gets smaller. We can have the practice for mobile environments such as focused content, list of rows instead of multiple columns.

Touchscreens versus Cursors:

Touchscreen Device

         Smartphones, tablets have the option of touchscreens, even though in many laptops we can see touchscreen nowadays. Most of the device functionally is based on a touchscreen than the cursors. Uses of cursors are relatively very less. Our website should be more responsive for both touchscreen and cursors.

          Touchscreen sub-navigation on the right side of the page would be more user-friendly for touchscreen users because most people are right-handed; they would therefore not bump or brush the navigation accidentally when holding the device in their left hand.

Conclusion:

          There will be many tools in the future to continue adjusting and creating custom solutions for each screen size, device and advancement in technology. It's very easy to know how to create a website responsive to the user than to learn how to design and code for every single device available. Responsive Web Design techniques which we have are not the final solution for our new mobiles which are launched with new technology every day.
