Responsive layout

A layout must survive different screen sizes

  • Design for narrow screens before assuming wide screens.
  • A two-column layout may become one column.
  • Priority must survive when the layout stacks.
Wide screen

Lots of horizontal space can make weak priority look acceptable.

  • Sidebars
  • Multiple columns
  • More visible detail
Small screen

Narrow space forces the true order of content to reveal itself.

  • Single column
  • Stacked sections
  • Harder tradeoffs
