Responsive Design

Responsive checklist

viewport

fluid layout

breakpoints

@media queries

Viewport

placed inside head tags

turns off viewport “scaling/zoom” in browser and sets to actual size

required or your responsive site is not actually responsive…

Fluid Layout

set container to max width

change width of all elements (boxes) from px to %

Breakpoints

activate “inspect element” and detach into separate window

resize web page (drag size of browser window right to left) - dimensions are displayed on top-right of browser

when an element “breaks” -note the width and what broke (that’s your breakpoint)

@media queriesfix breakpoint issues with css based on the width of the browser

default sizes for breakpoints small or “mobile” = 0 - 480pxmedium or “tablet” = 481px to 768pxlarge or “desktop” = 769px +

your actual breakpoints may differ as your layout is going to break where it wants to break…

@media blocks

place at very bottom of css

order is largest size to smallest

test locally with inspect element device toolbar

“Be responsiveable -upload to server and test live on every mobile / tablet device you can get your hands on”
