Responsive web design and small screen optimisation
The way people are using and accessing websites is changing. This is due to users having more diverse browsing experiences on a multitude of devices, including desktop browsers, smartphones, tablets and more. This creates challenges for web producers regarding how we should design for different screen sizes, resolutions and types of interaction (e.g. touch). More than that, it calls into question what it really means to design for the web today.
With new devices available, the one-size-fits-all approach to web design that we’ve stuck with for so long is no longer relevant. It’s now essential that the designs that we create are responsive to the different ways that users access our content. This document is intended to outline a process called ‘responsive web design and enhancement’ that can be used to optimise your website’s content and adapt to different screen sizes and devices.
