If you are a fan of geek speak and really want to dive into the technical aspects of RWD, Mr. Marcotte’s article is a fabulous read. But if you want to learn just enough to be dangerous, or perhaps just enough to help you consider whether a responsive website is a good fit for your municipal website, read on.
With the introduction of an increasing array of screen sizes through tablets and supersized smartphones, Responsive Web Design takes mobile-friendliness to the next level. In other words, responsive websites automatically resize to fit all mobile screen sizes; from desktop PCs to tablets to smartphones.
For example, we built Onalaska, Wisconsin's website on our new Responsive Web Design framework. As you can see in the illustration below, their design fits perfectly within three different mobile device viewports. They were also able to incorporate more highly visual content, showcasing their community with sweeping imagery throughout.
And of course, the content and images adapt right along with the design. All of the content that exists on your desktop design, exists in every screen size variation.
Responsive Web Design is not a requirement for an excellent mobile experience; but it does offer a stronger visual presentation along with more flexibility for site visitors to ensure they can find the information they need, as seamlessly as possible.
