What does ‘Responsive’ mean?• Reacting quickly and positively

• Most people these days request that the site we build, will be responsive across multiple devices. In fact, this request is becoming so common that we now build websites using responsive design by default.

• To create a basic responsive site is relatively cheap. To create a good responsive site can be time consuming and therefore expensive.

For ExampleWhen you ask for a responsive website (or offer to build one for a client) are you anticipating:

• Optimizing images for different devices and connection speeds.• Changing navigational position to account for how people hold a mobile

device.• Restyling links and buttons to be more touch friendly.• Ensuring elements like video or data tables resize properly rather than just

hiding them.• Dynamically resizing fonts to work better at different screen resolutions.• Providing different versions of graphics.

And the list goes on…
