Responsive web design

Responsive web design

Definition

 

Responsive web design means designing your website so that it responds to your users environment based on screensize, platform and orientation.

Responsive web design

Definition

 

It looks diferent and things jiggle around, scale, re-order, appear, and disappear so it works well in your browser size or whatever device you’re using to view it...

New ways of thinking

 

  • Works on everything - Design for many sizes at once
  • Clean design - reduce clutter, essential content only
  • Design from the content out - Let content decide breakpoints
  • Less Graphic files - CSS gradients, font icons

Media queries

Media queries provide the ability to specify different styles for individual browser and device circumstances -

apply uniquely targeted styles​

// HTML

<!-- Separate CSS File -->
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all and (max-width: 1024px)">
// CSS

/* @media Rule */
@media all and (max-width: 1024px) {...}

/* @import Rule */
@import url(styles.css) all and (max-width: 1024px) {...}

Media queries

@media screen and ( min-width: 500px ) and ( max-width: 800px ) {

 /* CSS declarations */

}

This is for screen only (desktops, smartphones, not print)

media_type: all | aural | braille | handheld | print | projection | screen | tty | tv | embossed | speech

Media queries

@media screen and ( min-width: 500px ) and ( max-width: 800px ) {

 /* CSS declarations */

}

The width of the window must be AT LEAST 500px

The width of the window must ALSO be NO MORE THAN 800px

media_feature: width | min-width | max-width | height | min-height | max-height | aspect-ratio | min-aspect-ratio | max-aspect-ratio | color | min-color | max-color | color-index | min-color-index | max-color-index | monochrome | min-monochrome | max-monochrome | resolution | min-resolution | max-resolution | scan | grid

Media queries

@media screen and ( min-width: 500px ) and ( max-width: 800px ) {
    
    img { 
        border: 5px solid #!f; 
    }

}

Images will have a white border when the window is from 500px to 800px wide

Media queries

@media all and (max-width: 420px) {

    section, aside {
        float: none;
        width: auto;
    }
}
