To use responsive design or not to use responsive design?
that is not a question…
How do you achieve a mobile optimized site?
1. mobile
A mobile website lives at m.URL or mobile.URL.While it might work great on mobile devices, you now have two websites to build and maintain, which is not very cost effective.
2. fluid
The layout of a fluid website is based on a percentage of the browser display. A column set at 33% width will automatically resize itself to that percentage of the browser window, regardless of the device type.
3. adaptive
In an adaptive website, elements are organized based on predefined rules specific to monitor, notebook, tablet and smartphone screen sizes.
4. responsive
Responsive design combines the advantages of both fluid and adaptive designs and is the recommended option for a seamless browsing experience across all platforms.
