The way people browse the web is changing quickly – fewer and fewer users access the web at a desk in front of a large monitor with a keyboard and mouse. The web is increasingly being enjoyed on phones, tablets, wearables, TVs and everything in between. By designing a site to be responsive, it will look good and work well no matter what device your users have in front of them.
Throughout this course, you’ll work through a project creating a home town website that works well on phones, tablets and desktop displays.
