Responsive Layout
Graffito's responsive grid system is designed for desktop, tablet and smartphone systems - each with minor modifications to ensure compatibility in each mode.
We use the responsive layout based on Twitter's Bootstrap Framework, with its collection of utility classes, to provide a great degree of flexibility for a responsive design.
The table below shows the breakdown of screen resolutions and associated devices, and which layout characters are then applied to each.
