RESPONSIVE DESIGN

-
Websites are increasingly being viewed on a mobile or tablet. Within five years, the number of mobile internet users even exceeds the number of desktop users. The highest time to take this into account when designing and developing a website. Where previously a separate mobile site had to be developed, Responsive web design can now be applied.

"Responsive web design: creating websites that adapt seamlessly to the user's environment, based on device, size, resolution, technical limitations etc."

THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPONSIVE WEB DESIGN
Until recently it was customary to build websites where the content had a fixed width. This width was around 980 pixels, about the width of the smallest screen of a desktop PC. If the website was viewed on a larger screen, the width of the content remained the same but there was more to see from the background. In this way, the website looked almost the same and yet attractive on different monitors. When the smartphones made their appearance, a mobile website was developed as an alternative to the standard website. So two versions of one website.

Responsive web design makes it possible to optimize a website in one single version for different screen resolutions. A website can adapt to any screen resolution without sacrificing functionality and content.

The content of the site consists of separate elements. By not placing them in a fixed location and making them scalable, the website can adapt to any size. It is also possible not to show certain elements at any particular screen resolution. By running media queries the device with which the website is visited can be identified. Based on this, the right content and design are shown.

What is and what is not shown and in what order is based on the needs of the user. After all, the content on your website is for the visitor and this must be able to find the information you need quickly and easily on any device.

THE NEW STANDARD?
Due to the increase of devices to view online information, it is becoming increasingly important to offer this information in the right way. Responsive design is certainly a solution, but whether it will become the new standard will become clear in the future.

Personally, I notice that I think it's great to view the normal site on my smartphone. This automatically scales to a smaller size. The moment I see a modified version of a website, I feel that I am missing information. But maybe I am not yet responsive and I still have to adapt to the new development.

Here are some examples of Responsive Webdesign.

What do you think of the Responsive design? Please provide your comments below.
