Two of the most common methods for designing websites that work well both on |
desktop and mobile are responsive and adaptive design. In responsive design, |
content moves dynamically depending on screen size; in adaptive design, |
the website content is fixed in layout sizes that match common screen sizes. |
Preserving a layout that is as consistent as possible between devices is |
crucial to maintaining user trust and engagement. As responsive design can |
present difficulties in this regard, designers must be careful in |
relinquishing control of how their work will appear. If they are responsible |
for the content as well, while they may need to broaden their skillset, |
they will enjoy having the advantage of full control of the finished product. |
