I haven't posted anything from the last somedays. Though I have written 12 articles related to JavaScript, React and CSS.

I still struggle with making the website responsive. I know beginners surf on the web(i had done this earlier) to make the website responsive but what they get is just an explanation of small concepts.

Here in this post, I am gonna clear everything about how to master Responsive Web Design.

Know Responsive vs Adaptive Design

Responsive

• Dynamic changes to the appearance of the website.
• Depend on the screen size and orientation of the device.

Adaptive

• Adaptive design uses a few fixed layouts and then selects the best layout for the current screen sizes.

Use relative units

Instead of using an absolute unit start using relative units.

Absolute units => Don't use {cm, mm, in, pc, px, pt}

Relative unit => Use {em, rem, lh, vw, vh}

Divide design into Breakpoints

Breakpoints are predefined areas of measurement that allow you to re-arrange your web layout dependent on the size of the browser or device.

Bootstrap responsive breakpoints

• Small device = @media (min-width:576px) {...}
• Medium device = @media (min-width:768px) {...}
• Large device = @media (min-width:992px) {...}
• Extra large device = @media (min-width:1200px) {...}

Understand Max and Min values

Understand when to use Max and Min values.

• It will work when the device width is greater than or equal to 1024px.

@media (min-width: 1024px){
    h1 {
      font-size: 1rem;
     }
  }

• It will work when the device is less than or equal to 1024px

@media (max-width: 1024px){
    h1 {
      font-size: 0.5rem;
     }
  }

Use nested objects

Nested objects or container are the objects that are inside another object.

It allows controlling the nested element instead of constantly having to control each element.

<div class="parent">
   <span class="nested-element-1">Read</span>
   <p class="nested-element-1">RAHULISM></p>
   <p class="nested-element-1">Articles</p>
</div>

<!-- STYLE -->
<style>   
  .parent span {
    color: black;
  }
  .parent p {
    color: blue;
  }
</style>  

Mobile or Desktop first

When Desktop First is Appropriate

• When the sales are high on desktop
• User interfaces are rich
• Focusing on complex and enhanced visuals
• Website which has productivity tools or business-related service
• Highly refined user experience

When Mobile First is Appropriate

• Simple and minimalistic websites
• User experience is optimized for mobile
• Website like entertainment, news or another on-the-go category.

Understand Web VS System Fonts

Every piece of typography or font that is loaded up on your website is going out to a server and make a request and come back.

• System fonts are default fonts and they are fast to load
• Web fonts slow down your load times for the user who are browsing your site

SOME SAFE WEB FONTS THAT ARE RENDERED CORRECTLY

Georgia, Times New Roman/Times, Arial / Helvetica, Comic Sans, Lucida Sans Unicode, Tahoma / Geneva, Courier New.

Bitmap vs vector images

Bitmap images are stored as a series of tiny dots called pixels,

A vector image is an artwork made up of points, lines and curves that are based upon mathematical equations, rather than solid coloured square pixels.

What to use?

VECTOR IMAGE: More scalable than bitmap, Ability to increase the size of the graphic without pixelation and Better Quality.
