“Water-like Design” For a Responsive Web Age
The Responsive Web Design can be viewed as, a Website that smoothly accelerates and automatically switches to a technology that reverts as per the user preferences. The metaphor of water is used here to make it even simpler to understand for an amateur. Just like the water taking shape of its container, a responsive website takes the shape of the gadget it’s being operated upon.
The root cause of a versatile version of websites lies in the fact, that it should accommodate as per the user’s environment including screen size, the viewport being used, platform etc. If the user switches from smartphone to tablet, or from tablet to laptop, the responsive website should open in the appropriate layout, CSS, the resolution, the content (words, images, tables, audio, forms)etc; and all this done as an ultimatum in the form of losing visitors from one device and gaining in the other. It’s more of an abstract thought transformed to reality, much more beyond viewport and resizing.
