Not a Buzz-Word
There is no such thing as the
“mobile” internet!
So…What is RWD

• Flexible, grid-based layouts• Flexible images and media• Utilize CSS3 media queries
CSS3 Media What???• Device agnostic• Media queries look at physical
characteristics:– Browser viewport– Device screen size– Device orientation
@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) {/* CSS FOR SCREENS WIDER THAN 480PX GOES HERE */

Mobile vs. Responsive
• Should you build a separate mobile site or a responsive Web site?
• Instead of mobile last, build mobile first.
• Tablets are NOT mobile!
PROS
• Your site is available to everyone regardless of the device they use.
• You only have one set of content to update and track analytics for.
• Endorsed by Google.• Future Friendly
CONS
• Higher initial development costs.• Updates must be tested on a variety of
devices.• Possible page performance issues on slower
networks.• Video, third-party code and banners can pose
challenges.
How does this affect me?
• 79% of US smartphone and tablet owners have used their mobile devices for shopping-related activities.
• 42% of tablet owners have “used their device to purchase an item,” compared to 29% of smartphone owners.
