Responsive Web Design (RWD)

20

an approach to web design in which a designer intends to provide an optimal viewing experience—

easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide

range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones). (Wikipedia)

Same HTML. Same Application Logic.

Different User Experience.

CSS3 Media Queries

35

allowing you to define styles based on conditions such as screen size or resolution

@media screen and (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 479px) {...}

define multiple CSS media queries to target “cut off points” and appropriately adjust UI for given screen size

Mobile Landscape–@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px)

Mobile Portrait / Landscape–@media only screen and (max-width: 767px)

Media Queries can then easily shift or reposition these components
