Today we want to share our experience and knowledge about the world of responsive design. Over the years, we have faced many challenges and triumphs on our way to creating quality websites for different devices.Imagine browsing the web on your mobile device, trying to access a website that just doesn't seem to fit on the screen, fonts and images are floating, buttons work crookedly. Immediately you want to close the site, right? This is where responsive design comes to the rescue. It allows websites to easily adapt to different screen sizes and provide an optimised experience for users.Gone are the days when desktop design was supreme. With the rapid growth of mobile devices, websites need to be up to par. Mobile design is gradually coming to the forefront. The design options available for smaller devices are now pushing the boundaries of creativity and functionality.But let's not forget where it all started. Most websites were originally designed for desktops and mobile versions were left in the background. That's why we're here to shed light on the power of responsive design. It's not just about making a website look good on a small screen, it's also about making it work seamlessly. Buttons that are easy to click, readable content and customer centricity are what we strive for.You may notice that all websites look different and are designed differently. On a mobile device, users may encounter several types of websites:Mobile - websites are designed for mobile devices.Web apps are a type of mobile-centric websites designed for mobile devices that look like an app.Adaptive design sites are sites designed for multiple devices with different screen sizes. The layout automatically adapts to the available screen size.Desktop sites are sites designed for computers and are not optimised for mobile devices.
