Advantages of Using a Responsive Web Design

The use of mobile devices has become a part of our daily lives. Therefore, it is very important that every web page adheres to common responsive design patterns. The responsive design adapts content, so that it looks well on a personal computer, tablet and a mobile device.

The implementation of a responsive design is also of significant importance to SEO, since search results show first pages, which are optimized for mobile devices.

Responsive Web Design

The easiest way to create a responsive design, in addition to employing a layout framework, such as Bootstrap, is to employ components, widgets and tools, which support such layouts natively. In this article, we will list a few responsive components, which are indispensable when creating a web site.

Grid – this widget offers a standard, rich set of function and data manipulation, such as sorting, filtering, keyboard navigation, as well as data source operations, such as edit, delete and insert. In addition to this, it also allows native export to PDF and Excel.

Chart diagrams are used for visualizing sets of numeric data points, or values to make easier the reading of larger sets of data, as well as to highlight key performance points, or values of specific importance. There are many types of chart series, which are suitable for different scenarios – Area chart, Line chart, Spline chart, Pie chart, Donut chart, as well as stacked series charts and some more exotic types, such as radar charts.

Menu – every web page needs a menu. It is usually a set of links, which take users to different sections of your site. However overstated it may sound, the menu is one of the most important elements. Without it, the navigation would be much more complicated, which would make end users less satisfied with the final experience. A well-structured menu, on the other hand, will help them to more easily navigate in the page, as well easily find the section of information that they are interested in.
