The popularity of smart phones and tablet devices have created new challenges for web designers. There are new sizes and resolutions to design for. A new technique called responsive design is changing the way websites are built.
The core principle is that a flexible layout is used to make the website responsive to the size of the screen or device. If you view the website in a tradtional way on a computer it fills the screen as any other website does. View it on an iPhone and the layout scales and reformats for the smaller screen. It really is that simple but this ground breaking concept is changing the way designers are approaching web design.
