Responsive Web Design

Screenshots of responsive design layouts on different devices

An ever increasing proportion of your users are browsing the web on mobile devices. A responsive web design will make sure your website is legible on all those devices, no matter the size of the screen. The layout “responds” to the device screen size, changing the number of columns and font-size to suit the screen.

An example of how a responsive web design displays on different screens:

Smart Phone

  • Single column layout
  • 24pt headings
  • 14pt text
  • Popup navigation menu

Tablet

  • Two column layout
  • 28pt headings
  • 15pt text
  • Popup navigation menu

Laptop

  • 4 column layout
  • 32pt headings
  • 16pt text
  • Dropdown navigation menu

Desktop

  • 4 column layout
  • 40pt headings
  • 16pt text
  • Dropdown navigation menu

The look and feel of a CMS website is determined by the theme, which is a collection of templates, images and stylesheets which are used to display the site content from the database. A responsive theme applies a mobile-friendly design across a CMS site. Professionally designed responsive themes can be purchased off-the-shelf for each content management system – there are many hundreds available. A purchased theme can then be customised to match your site’s branding using logos, site colours, typefaces, photography etc.

Another approach is to custom build a theme from a suitable responsive base theme. Base themes are highly configurable themes that have many useful responsive features built-in, such as breakpoints and font-resizing, and have the ability to display in a graceful (if limited) form on older browsers.
