Na takiej stronie cały układ będzie ulegał płynnym przekształceniom, aby zapewnić komfort przeglądania niezależnie od wymiarów wyświetlacza. Oczywiście dotyczy to również stron istniejących, które powinny zostać zmodernizowane.Niniejsza książka jest przeznaczona dla osób, które planują zmodernizowanie swojej witryny w celu zapewnienia jej responsywności. Przedstawiono tu mnóstwo praktycznych wskazówek pozwalających na wdrożenie nowej wersji witryny, nawet gdy brakuje czasu i środków. Dowiesz się, jak rozplanować adaptację projektów i wzorców przy różnych breakpointach oraz jak zadbać o responsywność obrazów. Opisano tu takie techniki, jak przekształcanie siatek stałych w siatki płynne, stosowanie komponentów wielokrotnego użytku, korzystanie z zapytań medialnych. Pokazano, jak korzystać z przydatnych wzorców projektowych, na przykład wzorców nawigacji.
