Learn the Basics of Responsive Web Design With These GIFs
If you are a web developer, you need to think about how your design will display on mobile sites. Responsive web design is a great way to adapt to all screen sizes. These gifs can teach you how it works.
In case you’re unfamiliar, responsive web design is a concept where a website shrinks or expands to fill the space it sits on. In fact, Lifehacker uses a design like this, so if you want to see it in action, open our first page on your desktop and resize the window to fit your phone screen. All elements on the page automatically adapt to the layout that best suits the space they occupy.
The FROONT design blog breaks down some of the key building blocks that go into responsive design, such as using relative units (pictured above) or creating breakpoints that can move wider content further down the page on thinner screens. Check out all the GIFs along with an explanation of each at the source link below.
