    Designing Responsive Sites

    Posted 12 years 2 months ago
    • This is harder than it first looks :cry:

      my attempt
      www.solimarvillasales.com/

      The biggest challenge by far is to get the content to line up as it re-sizes for the different media sizes, throw in images and it doubles your effort,

      I have lined up my homepage items by using a combination of 3 methods

      1, the top left image that has the phone number in red is 3 separate images for the media classes, large, desktop, tablet

      2, the sidebar modules have a background image behind the text then a bottom image that the top half has had the background removed so it appears like one image,

      3, I made bits of the bottom sidebar module visible for certain media sizes, and set hight spacers for the media sizes with variations of <div class="visible-tablet" style="height:42px;">&nbsp;</div>

      Any image that is going to show in the mobile size needs to be 600px, this can make the site heaver,

      I have a question for any gurus out there :P
      Is there any way we can make a module in the sidebar expand to fill the available space? like anchoring the bottom to the gantry mainbottom line,

      any of you got any tips on responsive design

    • Good effort! I would check your hover font on the menu with the BackSaveMortgage CalculatorPDFMy FavoritesSearch links. I don't think the background justifies the amount of work you have put into this as it looks a little bland. Everything else seems great. :)

      Sorry, not too sure what you are asking here? :oops:
