Responsive apps

Responsive website development is a way to create a single site that is optimized for large screens as well as mobile screens. It makes a lot of sense for a lot of sites and applications.

The UX for different breakpoints has to be designed, with mobile often designed before the desktop or tablet versions. Because of the small form factor and differences in the context of use, as well as ‘touch’ design patterns vs. desktop design patterns, a website, especially one with a lot of interaction and functionality, may be laid-out and flow differently for a smartphone than for its desktop counterpart. While the user should have a seamless experience interacting across any platform, the design still has to make sense in the different contexts of mobile site use vs. desktop or tablet site use.
