The revolution of mobile devices has produced as a result an increase on web traffic from mobile devices in numbers we’ve never seen before. Unfortunately so has increased the demand for websites that not only look great but work well in mobile devices.
In a world where technology has advanced so much and there is no shortage of tools to build websites, how do you pick the right tools and techniques to produce website that are mobile friendly? The answer for the past few years has been very simple; Responsive Web Design or RWD. With RWD you can build highly scalable, robust and flexible websites that adapt to any screen size. This is possible through the use of media queries, a CSS3 property that allows a device’s browser to examine the screen size of that device and then serve a set of CSS styles that have been written to optimize the user experience on that device.
The RWD technique is changing rapidly and it can be overwhelming trying to keep up with the changes. Sass and Compass are great tools that allow us to tap into advanced techniques without having to reinvent the wheel.
