    • Hi all,

      I am trying to customize a rockettheme responsive template but locally (offline on my 15' laptop).

      Also, I would like to know how I can check/see what will look like the mobile/tablet version of the template on my pc locally (offline).

      Thanks in advance for your help,

      MoonDragon

    • Just resize your browser window - that should suffice for most things - there are sometimes other slight variations in how things work - but resizing the browser is close enough for most things.

      If you want to see it true then consider using something like Saucelabs https://saucelabs.com/

    • Hi there,

      I use Firefox and they have an option in Web Developer for Responsive Design View. Remember to refresh when you change screen size as this will trigger correct behaviour. Just resizing screen will lead to errors.

      There is also a website called responsinator.com/ which displays lots ov variants. Not sure how accurate this is though.

      Hope this helps 8)

      I believe this addon will fit my needs.

      Thanks.

      Certainly but saucelabs seems to be a paid service and presently I can only afford free service...

    • yes saucelabs has a free account - so provided you don't want to spend hours on there - it should be more than sufficient.
