Why is responsive design important for my website?

Over 60% of web traffic comes from mobile devices. Responsive design ensures seamless user experience across all devices, improves SEO rankings (Google prioritizes mobile-friendly sites), reduces bounce rates, and future-proofs your site for new devices and screen sizes.

What devices do you optimize for?

We optimize for all devices: desktops (full-width layouts), laptops (optimized for smaller screens), tablets (fluid designs for portrait/landscape), smartphones (prioritized content, touch-friendly), and emerging devices like foldable phones and ultra-wide monitors.

How do you achieve responsive design?

We use fluid grid layouts with percentage-based widths, CSS media queries for device-specific styling, flexible images that scale with max-width: 100%, and touch-friendly design with appropriately sized buttons and links for mobile interaction.

What's the difference between mobile-first and desktop-first design?

Mobile-first design starts with the smallest screen and adds features for larger devices, ensuring optimal performance on mobile. This approach is preferred because it prioritizes essential content and creates faster-loading mobile experiences where most users browse.

Fluid Grid Systems

/* Fluid grid that scales smoothly */
          .grid {
            display: grid;
            grid-template-columns: repeat(
              auto-fit,
              minmax(clamp(16rem, 33vw, 22rem), 1fr)
            );
            gap: clamp(1rem, 2vw, 2rem);
          }

Auto‑filling cards that grow/shrink with viewport, using minmax + clamp for graceful scaling and consistent gaps.

Smart Media Queries

/* Mobile-first type scale with clamp */
          :root {
            --step-0: clamp(1rem, 0.75rem + 1vw, 1.125rem);
            --step-3: clamp(1.5rem, 1rem + 3vw, 2.5rem);
          }
          body { font-size: var(--step-0); }
          h1   { font-size: var(--step-3); }
          
          /* Only add breakpoints where layout truly changes */
          @media (min-width: 48rem) { .nav { grid-auto-flow: column; } }
          @media (min-width: 80rem) { .layout { grid-template-columns: 1fr 60ch 1fr; } }

Use fluid type by default; sprinkle in breakpoints only for structural changes, not cosmetic nudges.

Touch‑First Design

/* Comfortable targets + input modality queries */
          button, .btn, a[role="button"] {
            min-height: 44px;
            padding: 12px 18px;
          }
          
          /* Desktop hover vs. touch focus */
          @media (hover: hover) and (pointer: fine) {
            .menu:hover .submenu { opacity: 1; }
          }
          @media (hover: none) {
            .menu:focus-within .submenu { opacity: 1; }
          }
          
          /* Smooth gestures, no scroll chaining issues */
          html { touch-action: manipulation; }
          body { overscroll-behavior: contain; }

We optimize interactions for fingers first, then enhance for precise cursors without breaking touch UX.

Performance First

/* Responsive image with zero CLS */
          <img
            src="/assets/hero/home-1200.webp"
            srcset="/assets/hero/home-800.webp 800w,
                    /assets/hero/home-1200.webp 1200w,
                    /assets/hero/home-1600.webp 1600w"
            sizes="(max-width: 768px) 92vw, (max-width: 1200px) 50vw, 800px"
            width="800" height="500"
            loading="lazy" decoding="async"
            alt="Hero section preview">
          
          /* Idle-load non-critical JS */
          if ('requestIdleCallback' in window) {
            requestIdleCallback(() => import('/js/roi-calculator.js'));
          }

Adaptive images with explicit dimensions prevent layout shift; non‑critical scripts are deferred to keep pages snappy.
