Responsive Web Design Trends

Tags : 

Today’s generation is the mobile friendly generation and to reach to maximum customers, numerous web design companies are offering responsive web design as a part of their services so that users can reach to them whenever they want easily. Responsive web design is basically that design which function smoothly across all the devices like desktops, laptops, phones or tablets etc.

To make our reach to the competitive market, it is important to design website in such a way that keeps responsive web design in mind.

Here is the list of top trends in the field of responsive web designing that are making our website appearance more beautiful:

Vector Graphics: This concept is becoming more and more popular to use instead of raster graphics. There is only one difference which is that scalable vector use points on a vector map for building a certain design while a raster graphic is just a plain old image by using pixels on a bitmap. They provide the benefit of being resized without losing visual quality which is crucial to seamless responsive web design.

Hidden Menus: Hidden menus are the most essential and popular trend in an effort to keep things simple. We are seeing a trend in which minimal home pages are becoming popular and users must click a menu icon for revealing the website’s navigation options.

Single and Long Scrolling Home Pages: This concept sounds like an amazing trend in responsive web designing. It is like a website with one page and includes nearly entire content on that single page. These types of sites have a navigation bar at the top of the screen but the only difference is that by clicking on these options, users are taken to a location already on this page.

Card Based Design: They are the simple and prominent way to organize information into the pattern of a grid. In this trend, pieces of information are organized into cards in a visually appealing way with a distinctive image or block of texts. They are essential for the responsive web design due to its ability to rearrange its structure as per the user’s screen size.

Minimalism: The above trends are about increasing simplicity but minimalism is the trend which falls under the new idea of web design whose goals are to reduce clutter, focus on efficient user experience and simplify the best we can.

Responsive web design (RWD)

Tags : 

Responsive design is an idea to make a web page responsive by using flexible layouts, flexible images and cascading style sheet concepts. The main motive of making a responsive website is to detect the visitor’s screen size and changes can be made to the layout according to requirements. A responsive web design solves many types of problem which arises in many new types of mobile devices. Concept of X and Y coordinate grid for layout of responsive website, it is a mathematical concept not a fixed width parameter. Grid layout gives you a more fluid layout which will resize itself to fit into the display.

It is designed to adapt and respond to the functioning of the computing device used by the visitor to display the website. It is only website that will appear good to you at any device that you are using, from a large screen device to medium and small screen device. It is responsible to give all the users the same experience as it is on large or small device.

Responsive web design allows the website designers to create contents and publish it everywhere and for all devices, no need to create multiple contents for the same website. It is a website development strategy to render the web pages in an efficient and optimized manner that a website can function throughout all devices and from anywhere.

Traditional web designing approaches focuses only on website being viewed on laptops and PC’s. But a responsive website approach deals with website to be viewed on every device. A web developer has to use their coding skills to make a website responsive and can be accessed from any device.

Three main components of a responsive website is:

1) It must have flexible layouts: one must use a flexible grid to create the website layout which will automatically resize to any width.

2) Use of media queries: media queries allow the designers to specify different designs for different devices.

3) Media should be flexible: making the media (video, images) scalable by making changes in the size of media as size of viewport changes.

• Responsive web design adjusts gracefully to fit on all devices including desktop, tablet, and Smartphone browsers. Compatibility on all browsers is a great advantage, as before this watching a website on smart phone was not easy, we could see a tiny version only. These designs are fluid that is the content can freely move across all devices. Even the images and grids are also fluid. Content automatically fits in the allotted space like the liquid.

• No scrolling or re sizing is required if your website is responsive. Consumers can easily access websites from any device. Responsive web design cuts short the time of making other websites which could suit other devices, thus it saves your time too. Maintaining different websites is a little difficult task, than handling a single one. The cost to make these designs is more than the other conventional websites, this is true,. So be prepared to spend a little more bugs to get this advantage.

• Making updates is much easier on these websites. Website is updated on all devices, whenever you update it. You don’t need to put any extra efforts for that. Everything is displayed clearly. You are allowed to set the width of embedded images and videos. Responsive web design increases visibility in search engines. You can focus more on developing strategies, as you need to mange only single website. Through a single link you can track conversion paths, user journeys, funnels and re directions.
