Despite the huge amount of knowledge being shared on the subject of responsive design, I get the feeling that the workflow is still very mysterious. I’ve been thinking about a right process for quite a long time and finally came up with what I think is a good look at the practical side of designing websites in 2013.

This is a demo application built by my team at Adobe using content provided to us by National Geographic. It's implemented entirely with web technologies.
Wielding the tools from CSS and browser layout can enable stunning visualizations for web content. Using web features like CSS filters, WebGL, HTML5 video, SVG, canvas and evolving future tech like CSS Regions, CSS Shapes and CSS Custom Filters promises a hugely expanded creative landscape. Adobe has had a long history of working with content creators who are passionate about layout and design, and so has been active in applying this knowledge to the web with contributions to many evolving web standards.
With the help of National Geographic, we used content from their feature titled ‘Forest Giant’ to build a prototype showcasing how these features can enable rich web layout and responsive techniques. This article will show how we built some particularly interesting characteristics of the site. For a concise overview it’s worth watching this video below where Christian Cantrell walks you through the various features of the site.

An App for Generating Custom Skin CSS
A set of small, responsive CSS modules that you can use in every web project.
Responsive Web design has been around for some years now, and it was a hot topic in 2012. Many well-known people such as Brad Frost and Luke Wroblewski have a lot of experience with it and have helped us make huge improvements in the field. But there’s still a whole lot to do.
In this article, we will look at what is currently possible, what will be possible in the future using what are not yet standardized properties (such as CSS Level 4 and HTML5 APIS), and what still needs to be improved. This article is not exhaustive, and we won’t go deep into each technique, but you’ll have enough links and knowledge to explore further by yourse

A ses débuts, Internet s’est répandu dans les foyers grâce aux ordinateurs fixes. Afficher un site sur un écran de pc était alors une entreprise facile : cela revenait à faire entrer une girafe dans un bus londonien. Les sites étaient conçus pour apparaître sur ce format d’écran.
Mais Internet s’invite maintenant dans la rue et devient mobile : netbooks, tablettes, smartphones… Les supports se multiplient, et sans la moindre norme. A chaque marque, chaque modèle, chaque support, correspondent des tailles d’écran et des formats spécifiques. On en arrive au final à ça : il existe actuellement plus de 4500 résolutions d’écran différentes sur le marché !
Or, si afficher un site web sur un écran 19 pouces est aisé, afficher le même site sur un écran 3,5 pouces représente un challenge de taille : c’est vouloir faire entrer une girafe dans une Twingo.
Les développeurs ont donc imaginé des techniques de sioux pour répondre à ce challenge.

As long as there has been jQuery there have been image carousels created with jQuery. The famous jCarousel has been out since 2006, the same year the first version of jQuery was released. However, with the explosion of users now using their mobile devices for their internet browsing — on iPhones, iPads, and the like — it becomes necessary for jQuery plugins to support a good user experience on these devices. Enter Flexisel, the responsive image carousel with options specifically available for adapting the carousel for mobile and tablet devices.
Check out the demo here. Resize your browser window to see how you the plugin can adjust to the window width.
Flexisel will adapt responsively as the screen width gets smaller...

Image gallery lightboxes have been around for many years. They generally provide a great user experience until you attempt to load an image which is larger than the viewport dimensions. Developers often forget this important check and you’re presented with a centered image which is difficult to remove. The problem can be exacerbated on mobile devices.
Until recently, image lightboxes would need to implement several equations to determine the viewport and image dimensions then size and center accordingly. Fortunately, we can now rely on CSS3 media queries and transforms to do the hard work for us.

Depuis quelques mois, beaucoup de développeurs et d’intégrateurs web entendent parler de responsive design , c’est à dire avoir un seul site web qui s’adapte parfaitement à la taille de l’écran de l’utilisateur…
Seulement au final, peu de sociétés ont le courage de se lancer dans cette voie, et de transformer leur site pour que celui-ci soit “100% responsive”. En effet, cela demande énormément de travail : il faut un design totalement adapté, une intégration quasi-parfaite, des choix marketing importants, une recette plus complète (définitions d’écran * navigateurs web = démultiplication du nombre de tests), etc.
Aujourd’hui, je vais donc vous présenter rapidement en quoi consiste la création d’un site responsive, et comment transformer, sans trop d’efforts, votre site classique en un site agréable à consulter sur tablettes et smartphones !

A curated collection of great CSS, Sass, LESS and Stylus libraries.
In this tutorial we’ll look at bringing some of the web’s mobile techniques to HTML email. User take-up of mobile email is massive: some email campaigns get more mobile opens than desktop, yet many marketing emails render poorly on mobile devices. Mobile support on the web has never been better – so if you’re sending emails that drive customers to the web, it makes sense to design mobile friendly emails too.
The design challenges for mobile email are similar to those on the web: we have a small screen, a touch interface and (sometimes) users are out and about – so the design approach is similar. We have one extra challenge, in that many older mobile email clients lack proper support for media queries.
With this in mind, our best approach is to design a campaign that works well on both desktops and mobiles, and then use media queries where they’re supported to add an extra layer of optimisation for smartphones.

Steve Fisher and Alaine Mackenzie set out their vision for responsive web design as it approaches maturity
Let’s be clear: design is the solution only if it focuses on the deeper issues at hand, the why behind everything. A solid process should always guide our work, but we need to embrace something more flexible. Our medium has finally proven itself to be fluid, so shouldn’t our process? Think about system design: you need to see both the whole picture and the tiny details. Impossible? Far from it!
Frank Chimero puts it beautifully in his book The Shape of Design: “There is a part where the artist steps back from the easel to gain a new perspective on the work. Painting is equal parts near and far: when near, the artist works hard to make his mark; when far, he assesses the work in order to analyse its qualities. He steps back to let the work speak to him.”
We need to let our work, our medium, speak to us. With the rise of responsive design, we are finally embracing our medium as it was meant to be: fluid. It is a brilliant time to step back and assess the work, analyse, and embrace a new way of doing things, a new process. Gone are the days of static mock-ups and web designers who don’t understand code. It is time for a responsive process.

A year-and-a-half ago, a small group of Twitter employees set out to improve our team’s internal analytical and administrative tools. After some early meetings around this one product, we set out with a higher ambition to create a toolkit for anyone to use within Twitter, and beyond. Thus, we set out to build a system that would help folks like us build new projects on top of it, and Bootstrap was conceived.
Made by myself and Jacob Thornton, Bootstrap is an open-source front-end toolkit created to help designers and developers quickly and efficiently build awesome stuff online. Our goal is to provide a refined, well-documented, and extensive library of flexible design components built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for others to build and innovate on. Today, it has grown to include dozens of components and has become the most popular project on GitHub with more than 13,000 watchers and 2,000 forks.
Here we’ll shed some light on how and why Bootstrap was made, the processes used to create it, and how it has grown as a design system.

Avec la généralisation des technologies JS, CSS3 et HTML5, il est aujourd'hui possible de faire des sites Web qui n'ont rien à envier aux interfaces des logiciels que l'on peut trouver sur nos machines. Le revers de la médaille est une complexité croissante qui nécessite de faire appel à des professionnels . Quand vous devez faire un site personnel ou pour une association, il est difficile, à moins de s'appeler Cresus, de passer par un Web designer.
Heureusement des frameworks libres permettent avec un minimum d'investissement et de connaissances de bâtir des sites Web dans les règles de l'art. Nous allons dans ce billet parler du plus médiatique d'entre eux: Bootstrap. L'idée n'est pas de traduire la documentation officielle qui est par ailleurs très bien faite, mais de partager avec-vous mes méthodes que je suis en train d'utiliser pour développer le prochain thème du Blog de Nicolargo qui sera, vous l'avez compris largement basé sur Bootstrap.

I'm sure we all agree that responsive web design has been one of the biggest subjects in the last few years and will continue with the growth of mobile. As a senior front and backend developer with a strong interest in research and development at my company, I am responsible to evaluate techniques like RWD. Whenever I received a link to a totally new CSS grid system, I became more and more skeptical. They did not feel "right" to me, but I wasn't sure why.
Then I happened to come across a great article by Ian Yates titled "Life Beyond 960px: Designing for Large Screens" which introduced me to the term "Screen Real Estate". Prior to that, I did some deeper research using rem units in CSS which was a fortunate coincidence. Suddenly I knew what felt wrong.
When talking about RWD we mostly talk about devices below the target width of our layouts. But what about larger screens? Most of you will agree that a non RWD website with a target width of 960px looks a bit odd or lost on such a screen. Things are becoming more obvious when we talk about people accessing our websites with a 60" TV. Sure, these TV sets will most likely still only have full HD resolution. But keep in mind that whoever sits in front of them is probably at least 4m/10f away from the screen.

A lightweight (2kb) micro-framework, elegant & minimalistic CSS3 grid system, made with only one container and 12 columns. It`s very easy to use and understand, pre-packed with some extra css helpers for mobile devices.
The varying viewports that our websites encounter on a daily basis continue to demand more from responsive design. Not only must we continue to tackle the issues of content choreography — the art of maintaining order and context throughout the chaotic ebb and flow of the Web browser — but we must also meet the expectations of users. They’re not sitting still.
xy.css is a lightweight CSS template for building responsive liquid-grid designs. It brings together the best CSS techniques from around the Web and integrates them into a single, powerful style sheet template.
Designing websites for smartphones is easy compared to retrofitting those already in place. More than that, it’s embarrassing how, almost eight years after CSS gained practical acceptance, a lack of foresight haunts those of us who write HTML.
Converting older websites to responsive design causes headaches not because small screens are difficult, but because most HTML documents were written under an assumption about screen size. Prior to the iPhone’s introduction in mid-2007, designers could rely on windows at least 700 pixels wide (if they ignored accessibility). Conventions like navigation bars, two- and three-column layout and hover effects evolved to fit the mouse-based wide-screen standard. Designers made their upper left corner logos clickable because it was expected.

Wikipédia nomme le Responsive Design ainsi : “La notion de Responsive Web Design regroupe différents principes et technologies qui forment une approche de conception de sites Web dans laquelle un site est conçu pour offrir au visiteur une expérience de consultation optimale facilitant la lecture et la navigation. L’utilisateur peut ainsi consulter le même site Web à travers une large gamme d’appareils (moniteurs d’ordinateur, smartphones, tablettes, TV, etc.).”

There’s a debate over which technique of creating mobile-ready websites is the best.
Google advocates creating responsive web designs, while Jakob Nielsen, a renowned usability consultant, endorses the creation of dedicated mobile sites (but he was subsequently slammed by some web designers).
A third option is also gaining in popularity, where the web server renders the appropriate HTML and CSS from the same URL depending on the device a web page on the site is being requested from (which has been referred to as responsive design + server side components).
This article will discuss each of these methods.
Real-world examples of websites using a particular method are provided under each section.
The mobile device used to test and gather data for all examples is an iPhone 4 using iOS 5.0.

It's hard to believe I have been blogging for more than 7 years. Michael Wozniak, my hallmate during my freshman year at Georgia Tech, had gotten me into Gentoo Linux the year prior and told me he was playing with WordPress 1.2. Compared to the MediaWiki site I was running at the time that piqued my curiosity and I began blogging on WordPress on my G4 Mac Mini that summer. I immediately fell in love with it and began learning CSS and PHP to tweak the theme.

When we built websites we usually started by defining the body text. The body text definition dictates how wide your main column is, the rest used to follow almost by itself. Used to. Until recently, screen resolution was more or less homogenous. Today we deal with a variation of screen sizes and resolutions. This makes things much more complicated.
In the heat of the relaunch I wrote a quick blog post on responsive typography, focussing solely on the aspect of our latest experiment: responsive typefaces. Without knowing the history of iA, you’d miss some key aspects to the responsive typography and design in our relaunched site. Instead of mashing up all our articles on the matter, I decided to start from scratch and explain responsive typography step by step. This is step one.

Inline comments explain how and when to use some of the most common HTML5 elements.
Can also be used as a guide when building your own pages from scratch.
No JavaScript libraries such as jQuery or Modernizr are included, as they may be completely unnecessary.
It does include Normalize.css and original html5shiv as the former aids cross browser similarity and the latter is the minimum requirement for HTML5 documents to render in older versions (8 and below) of Internet Explorer.
Some of the WAI-ARIA roles are also included.
Templates that explain how to use HTML5 audio and video are also available.

As the web landscape becomes increasingly complex, it's becoming extremely important to deliver solid web experiences to a growing number of contexts. Thankfully, responsive web design gives web creators some tools for making layouts that respond to any screen size. We'll use fluid grids, flexible images and media queries to get the layout looking great regardless of the size of the device's screen dimensions.
However, mobile context is much more than just screen size. Our mobile devices are with us wherever we go, unlocking entire new use cases. Because we constantly have our mobile devices with us, connectivity can be all over the board, ranging from strong wi-fi signals on the couch to 3G or EDGE when out and about. In addition, touch screens open new opportunities to interact directly with content and mobile ergonomics lead to different considerations when designing layout and functionality.
In order to create a site that's truly designed for mobile context and not just for small screens, we want to ensure that we tackle the many challenges of mobile development upfront. The constraints of the mobile context force us to focus on what content is essential and how to present that content as quickly as possible. Building fast-loading, optimized experiences mobile first has a trickle down (or up, depending on how you look at it) effect for tablet, desktop and other emerging contexts.

We’re a group of developers working towards a markup-based means of delivering alternate image sources based on device capabilities to prevent wasted bandwidth and optimize display for both screen and print.
One div aims to highlight the potential of CSS3 through a library of single element logos.All icons displayed on the website are realised in pure css with only one html div. The challenge is also to provide an alternative to SVG. Indeed icons allow precise borders preserved even resized (As vector format). Then we can see a clear interest in responsive design.
We've put together this set of super awesome email templates so that you can make your email campaigns responsive!
Responsive, you say?
Yep. With more and more people pulling out their phones to check their email, we knew there had to be an easier way to ensure campaigns looked good on any device. That's why we recently made all our email campaigns responsive. Which had a lot of folks asking if we could do the same for them. And so we did.

What's the easiest way to scale background images in responsive layouts? We use an old technique and enhance it to fluidly change the aspect ratio of background images.
Responsive layouts make it possible to dynamically scale the width of a website to fit on small mobile devices as well as larger desktop computers. An <img> element with a percentual width will have its height automatically adjusted. Its aspect ratio remains the same when it is resized.
If we want to accomplish the same with background images we must figure out how to maintain the aspect ratio of any HTML element.

Je ne suis pas un gros fan de responsive design. Ce qui me dérange, ce n'est pas vraiment le fait d'adapter des mises en page à la taille de son navigateur. Ce n'est pas vraiment nouveau, et on a même retrouvé un exemple datant de 1999. La vraie nouveauté, c'est la possibilité d'utiliser des fonctionnalités natives de CSS pour parvenir à ce résultat. Mais ce qui me dérange, c'est que la technologie actuelle ne nous permet pas de proprement résoudre ce problème.
Au début du mois, Apple a sorti l'iPad mini. C'est une belle machine, aux caractéristiques très proches de l'iPad 2. Et ça c'est embêtant pour nous, pauvres intégrateurs, car l'iPad mini et l'iPad 2 ont la même résolution d'écran, mais pour une taille d'écran bien différente (respectivement 7,9" et 9,7"). Avec si peu de différence, Apple a fait en sorte que toutes les applications sur iPad mini fonctionnent comme sur iPad 2. Et c'est donc valable pour Safari, où il est presque mission impossible de détecter l'iPad mini, même via user agent ou device-pixel-ratio.

When it comes to responsive design we are faced with various techniques on how to best handle altering our navigation menus for small screens. The resources seem endless. That’s why I’m going to show you four main concepts and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of all of them.
Three of them are made with pure CSS and one uses a single line of JavaScript.

A jQuery plugin that helps you serve different content to different devices.
Responsive Content is used to load content that is appropriate to the current device's screen size. It is typically used alongside Responsive Design techniques. Note however that Responsive Design and Responsive Content act on different levels: given a particular screen width, the former applies a particular styling to the same content - whereas the latter actually loads different content. It can be used subtly - for example to cause smaller images to be loaded on smaller devices - or to deliver radically different content to different screen widths or device capabilities.

I’ve been wanting to attempt a port of Erik Loyer’s slabtype algorithm for quite some time now and seeing Paravel’s fittext jQuery plugin, in combination with a gloriously hassle-free lunch hour gave me the impetus to attempt it. This is the result – resize the browser viewport to see the effect in action.
We’re a group of developers working towards a markup-based means of delivering alternate image sources based on device capabilities.
Gamma Gallery is an experimental responsive image gallery that attempts to provide an adjustable responsive images approach taking its grid layout and the full slideshow view into account.

I'm sure you all are using viewport meta tag for responsive design, but did you know that the viewport tag can also be very useful for non-responsive design? If you haven't got the time to convert your design to responsive yet, you should read this article on how to use viewport tag to improve the appearance of your design on mobile devices.
Creating mobile content that dazzles means balancing the amount of data downloaded against maximal visual impact. Vector graphics are a great way to deliver stunning visual results using minimal bandwidth.
Many people think of canvas as the only way to draw a mixture of vectors and rasters on the web, but there are alternatives that have some advantages. A great way to achieve vector drawing is through the use of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) which is a key part of HTML5.

As responsive design rapidly increases in popularity, we felt we would take a look at some of the varied solutions and techniques that are being adopted for managing the navigation/menu on smaller screened devices.
Planning and building your menu for mobiles will perhaps be the trickiest aspect of your responsive layout, not just with the coding but also having to decide what will stay and what will have to go to fit everything into the smaller screen. It is a juggling act between both readability and the desire to show as much on the screen as possible.
Hopefully the solutions we have for you below will help get you on your way.

uand vous considérez le nombre de tablettes différentes, ordinateurs portables, navigateurs Web et systèmes d’exploitation qui accèdent de jour en jour à Internet, c’est un petit miracle que les concepteurs et les développeurs Web parviennent à rester raisonnables… Bien sûr, il y a les standards du Web et des organisations entières qui existent dans le seul but de s’assurer que l’Internet que vous voyez est généralement le même Internet que tout le monde voit. Mais, le grand nombre de dispositifs peut poser un petit problème lorsque vous tentez de créer un site ou un service qui fonctionne bien en masse…
On a recent responsive project, I quickly ran into a new challenge: how to manage JavaScript on a site where the interface and functionality changes at different breakpoints. For example, an image carousel might need to be animated at one breakpoint but turn into a simple image grid at the next; you don't want that JavaScript to still be functioning if someone crosses between them.
The Five Simple Steps website has a responsive design with a neat feature. When the browser window is narrow, the menu in the upper right converts from a regular row of links into a dropdown menu.
The idea of the original was to abandon the grid layout of the table and make each cell it's own line. Each of those lines is labeled with a pseudo element. This creates a much taller table, requiring more vertical scrolling, but does not require horizontal scrolling. It's easier to browse the data without losing context of what's what. The downside is that you might lose the context of data comparison, since you no longer see see cells of data right next to other cells of that type.
