• RWD, how
does it work? (media queries) • Do’s and Don’ts • How to get started
RESPONSIVE WEB DESIGN AWESOME IS
But, How does it work?
Media Queries CSS3 @media Fluid Layouts +
.HTML .CSS viewport: 1024px
.HTML .CSS viewport: 768px
Fluid Images & Media
Do’s & Dont’s
If you’re considering RWD DO: Analyze and rethink your content
if necessary. “LESS IS MORE” DON’T: Create visual clutter
DON’T AVOID: The use of tables. Especially for layout! DO:
Use DIV’s and CSS instead. IF YOU MUST: Make sure they’re capable of flexing. Use tables for what they were intended to do, tabular data!
Bad layout (using tables):
Good layout (DIV’s and CSS):
So, you want to jump on the bandwagon! We can
help!
