RWD: just getting started

This article first appeared in issue 236 of .net magazine – the world's best-selling magazine for web designers and developers.

These are exciting times to be a web dev. Regular browser updates deliver improved web standards support, meaning we can build better user interfaces for our site visitors. As web technology evolves, new site build techniques, such as RWD, are made possible. The ‘one site fits all’ technique uses CSS media queries to adapt our page design to the user’s browser. They also get a single URL for bookmarking both mobile and desktop versions of the same site.

We’re only just getting started using this technique, and I see a lot of potential to develop it in future to suit our needs and those of our visitors. But only when we overcome our current reliance on JavaScript can we evolve web standards to build sites that better adapt to users’ needs.
