Responsive Web Design in CMS - Best of Both Worlds

E-mail Print PDF

Responsive Web Design (RWD) is here to stay.  Why? Consider:

Responsive design is a design necessity.

We can’t forget that responsive design is at its core a design phenomenon, despite its far-reaching implications. As a design feature, it is designed to take away the unnecessary aspects of a web presence. After all, when you access a responsively designed site on your mobile device, you don’t see everything that you would see if you were to visit from your desktop browser. Responsive design is about simplicity. In order to meet the scaled-down sizes of tablets, minis, and mobiles, responsive sheds the excess, and offers the beautiful and simple core. This is a design trend that’s not going away soon.

Responsive meets the need of multiple devices.

Today, we’ve got desktops, notebooks, netbooks, tablets, and handhelds of every size, dimension, and resolution. Your business can not afford to be pliable to the user agent. How much business will you lose if your site does not adapt to a mobile device? Don't you personally have a distaste for sites where you have to scroll left and right, up and down? With all these net-accessing devices, there is no way that a static site design will please everyone. The variety of devices demands responsive design.

Responsive design is important because mobile viewing is increasing rapidly.

Responsive design was born because of mushrooming mobile statistics. Viewing stats now put mobile page views at over 10% of ALL page views.  When the market becomes saturated with mobile users, non-repsonsive sites will disappear. Responsive design is the answer. The growth in mobile is where every discussion of responsive design must begin. Can you afford to miss out on mobile/tablet viewers because of poor UX?

Latest Design technology allows for cross-media rendering. Responsive web design (RWD) is a web design approach aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones).

Mobile viewing is more than 10% of total browsing and growing, your site must be able to adapt to this change demographic.

CapturedByDesign will design and develop your site in Joomla CMS within a RWD framework. Your site will render to fit the media viewing it. No more scrolling right to left to read content, your viewer sees it regardless of viewing device!

Mashable called 2013 the Year of Responsive Web Design.

A site designed with RWD adapts the layout to the viewing environment by using fluid, proportion-based grids,  flexible image and CSS3 media queries, an extension of the @media rule,

  • The fluid grid concept calls for page element sizing to be in relative units like percentages, rather than absolute units like pixels or points.[6]
  • Flexible images are also sized in relative units, so as to prevent them from displaying outside their containing element.[7]
  • Media queries allow the page to use different CSS style rules based on characteristics of the device the site is being displayed on, most commonly the width of the browser.

From Smashing Magazine:

Quality Of Design Is An Indicator Of Credibility

Various studies have been conducted to find out just what influences people’s perception of a website’s credibility:

  • Stanford-Makovsy Web Credibility Study : Investigating What Makes Web Sites Credible Today
  • What Makes A Web Site Credible? A Report on a Large Quantitative Study
  • The Elements of Computer Credibility
  • Elements that Affect Web Credibility: Early Results from a Self-Report Study

Fever
We don’t know if Fever app is any good, but the sleek user interface and website make a great first impression.

One interesting finding of these studies is that users really do judge a book by its cover… or rather, a website by its design. Elements such as layout, consistency, typography, color and style all affect how users perceive your website and what kind of image you project. Your website should project not only a good image but also the right one for your audience.

Other factors that influence credibility are: the quality of the website’s content, amount of errors, rate of updates, ease of use and trustworthiness of authors
