A List Apart – Responsive Web Design

Fluid grids, flex­i­ble images, and media queries are the three tech­ni­cal ingre­di­ents for respon­sive web design, but it also requires a dif­fer­ent way of think­ing. Rather than quar­an­ti­ning our con­tent into dis­parate, device-specific expe­ri­ences, we can use media queries to pro­gres­sively enhance our work within dif­fer­ent view­ing con­texts. That’s not to say there isn’t a busi­ness case for sep­a­rate sites geared toward spe­cific devices; for exam­ple, if the user goals for your mobile site are more lim­ited in scope than its desk­top equiv­a­lent, then serv­ing dif­fer­ent con­tent to each might be the best approach.
