One of the fundamental aspect of a good website is it’s layout: The design of your website might give you an edge over your competitors, as websites with attractive designs are often viewed as more credible to those with less attractive layouts.
There are loads of WordPress themes out there but we are focusing on the ones with responsive layout and easily customizeable. If you are wondering how a responsive site works, I’m going to give you an insight on how the browser renders responsive themes.
As mobile computing goes viral, the need for mobilized layout becomes piratically essential. Different users access your website via various devices and screen sizes: Some from small screen devices like Blackberry, iPhone, others from larger screen sizes like the iPad, Kindle or Netbook. Now, you cannot base your website layout on one device or screen size, as that will limit the access of users from other devices.
Responsive Web design prompts your design and development to respond to the user’s behavior and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation. The practice consists of a mix of flexible grids and layouts, images and an intelligent use of CSS media queries. As the user switches from their laptop to iPad, the website should automatically switch to accommodate for resolution, image size and scripting abilities. In other words, the website should have the technology to automatically respond to the user’s preferences. This would eliminate the need for a different design and development phase for each new gadget on the market.
