Some time ago we helped the advertising agency Anfang to build a new website. Work on their previous website had come to a complete standstill and was mostly collecting dust – largely because their publishing tool at the time (Joomla!) was cumbersome to work with and not very intuitive. Instead, they chose to make a website based on WordPress and we were chosen as suppliers for this venture.
Responsive design
In this project, we chose to work with a technology that is very much on the rise, namely Responsive Design. We were previously advocates of this technology and have been working with responsive websites for over a year, and now more and more people are starting to understand the benefits of adapting their content to other platforms besides the regular monitor.
As responsive design is very complex and the choices are very large, we chose to work with a small and agile framework, 1140 grid. Instead of having a very high complexity with many different sizes (some of which are TV, monitor, portrait tablet, landscape tablet, smaller tablet, landscape mobile, portrait mobile – and more) as in other frameworks (eg Less Framework ), this framework contains only two modes – one for “ordinary” monitors and one for mobile platforms. This way, responsive websites can be developed quickly and efficiently without getting locked into cumbersome projects.
