In the post below, I would like to walk you through a few tips and techniques around how to build a reliable and engaging responsive web design layout. You would have the flexibility to put into use and build your very own layout.
Here is what you can get to learn:
- Hiding irrelevant content on smaller screen sizes
- How to create collapsible content blocks that can be best used on mobile screens
- Learn how to scale images in proper ratio depending on the available screen size
- How to create responsive images that are effectively optimized for a variety of screen sizes.
Hiding Irrelevant Content :: Responsive Web Design
You would have the ability to hide content by adding the CSS property content. In other words to be able to hide a block of content, you would need to narrow down the viewpoint as per the given width.
Collapsing Content :: Responsive Web Design
Scaling Images :: Responsive Web Design
Our aim here is to create fluidic layouts and a compelling web design that would allow you to scale images on the page as per the width of the browser. This would permit you to retain the proportion as per the rest of the content on the existing page.
One easy way to scale an image is to add a CSS that is maximum in width and is as per the element and also provides a percentage value to the property. The browser would then make out the width of the image as a proportion of the width. This would adjust the height of the image automatically so as to maintain the image aspect ratio.
Responsive Images :: Responsive Web Design
By creating responsive images, you can easily have a high resolution image that can work on desktop browsers. And then a smaller version can be used seamlessly on mobile screens.
In addition to images, you can also resize text. This text can be resized to suit the size of your page as per the size of the browser and it can be best used on any available screen space. Remember, it is always best to use a light touch here and just make fine adjustments to the font size. If the text is made too big then it would not look subtle and people would struggle to read it.
Today, if you really wish to conquer the digital market then responsive web design or websites can make the right kind of impact.
