Responsive Vs. Adaptive Web Design
As more web users access the web through their mobile devices, web designers have a unique challenge.
Screen Sizes
According to Webimax, an internet marketing firm that specializes in Mobile SEO, screen size could heavily affect how a designer plans to create a company’s mobile site.
Methodologies
Responsive Web Design VS. Adaptive Web Design
Responsive Web Design
• Webimax recommends responsive web design (RWD) for most mobile websites as web designers can adapt for screen sizes and devices that haven’t been created yet.
• RWD uses predefined rules in regard to screen size and percentages to determine layout and style.
Adaptive Web Design
• Adaptive web design adjusts to the user. The type of device used will determine what kind of layout the mobile website uses.
• Changes in layout are triggered through breakpoints, according to Webimax.
• Although adaptive web design may be good for today’s current technology, changes in devices and screen size could cause some trouble for your mobile site.
