5 sites that have nailed responsive web design
Gene Crawford shares his rules for any responsive approach, and picks five sites that get it right.
03. Clearleft
British agency Clearleft's responsive website design doesn't really change much of the experience content or image wise, but simplifies the elements into clean blocks that are easily tappable.
04. Disney
The Pixar website may be the target of an impressive design concept but Disney's site creates an almost completely stand alone experience for its mobile screen sizes, limiting the visual complexity of the initial screen view by reducing features.
05. Buffalo
The web design consultancy Buffalo visually simplifies the layout for smaller screen sizes by changing the shapes of its featured images from complex sided shapes to basic squares.
