28 February, 2012 → Responsive Design
A lot of work went into the responsive design of the new Sutera Studio SDN BHD agency web app, so that it would look equally as brilliant on any platform. Ensuring consistency across the board was a high priority.
Responsive design is of course all the rage at the moment, and it means different things to different people. The approach we took with our agency app is to combine fluid and fixed responsivity in order to walk the line between ultimate granularity and consistent appearance on targeted platforms.
We evaluated a lot of responsive frameworks for use on this project, and they fall into two major categories: frameworks that dynamically change the position of elements using javascript (often JQuery), and lighter-weight solutions that rely on CSS viewports to switch between layouts upon screen size changes.
The latter solution is generally more elegant, and keeps the majority of the styling where it should be — in the stylesheet. Our responsive layout consequently relies primarily on viewport detection, gracefully scaling down its aspect ratio from 16:9 for extra-widescreens to 4:3 for smaller laptops, to 3:4 for tablets, and finally to 9:15 for mobiles.
These elegant viewport switches are complemented by some DOM manipulation done in JQuery to fluidly rescale visually-rich elements of the app, such as the frontpage slideshow. We're quite happy with the result, and we will surely adopt this approach on future responsive projects.
