 flexibility of the framework and a bit of tweaking and monitoring security manually, you will still be able to make the website your own (using css and js, etc). WordPress provides a tool to be implemented in your own code, if wanted - but I am sure you already knew that - perhaps I am getting your question wrong?
How about Bootstrap? Your opinion?
Nice post, but I would like to add something. A lot of the difficult decisions about break points etc. can be made easier by looking at pre-built templates. For instance the 2013 theme had a decent responsive design and can give some insight on where to make adjustments at.
I don't agree, as these break, or tweakpoints should be 'found' per design. There is no standard, as is one of the points of my post.
Thanks for sharing the useful articles...
Hey, Currently all are working on how to optimize your Website that can run smoothly and efficiently on any of the machine. I have also started to take my blog to the next level that has responsive design and many other features.
I've got still so much to learn...
Really good article, I have started using rem recently, before I was using percentage for most elements. I do find percentages do work relatively well if used properly.
great and usefull article..you always come with great help to newbie…!!!
Do you know of the code which I can put to zoom in zoom out web sites post and pages in mobile devices?
Not really sure what you mean here, Aamir? I think that is just a manual action?
thanks for sharing your article..it will definelly help newbie...!!!great and usefull article..you always come with great help to newbie...!!!
Great article, there is just one thing that's not correct as far as I know.
You are right that the retina iPhone has 640 physical pixels in width. But that's only half of the truth. Since the introduction of retina an other high resolution devices there is a distinction between logical and physical pixels.
Meaning that the iPhone, no matter if retina or not has 320 pixels in width, and the retina ones have 2 dpp (dots per pixel). Lea Verou has posted a nice website on that issue. I will add it later on.
I had a discussion with a friend on the issue break points. His opinion was quite simple and made sense to me. He said starting point of mobile is 1px less than iPad width leading to 767px. As all smartphones with higher pixel densities have these logical pixels with physical dots inside, this normally works out fine for me.
Really nice addition. Of course I have just used the (chosen) guidelines of iosres here, but there is a lot to say for taking possible variation in viewing distance in account.
I think there is a lot to be taken into consideration, that is one thing I am surely aware of. As with all things like this, I am a bit reluctant to apply/try all at once.
I'm wondering if there is one holy grail in this, so I really appreciate all thoughts in these comments, great stuff.
Here as promised the link to Lea's site.
Nice post Michiel! But I got a suggestion for the relative font-sizes. You can use vw or vw to get a font-size related to the view-port size. Works perfect for me!
Thanks for your valuable comment, Stijn. I was actually looking into that yesterday. Might pick up on your suggestion, after testing pros and cons.
Hi, this is a great and useful read. Can you pinpoint for me though the Jeremy Keith article you used as reference for rem font sizing as a simple search of his site didn't yield anything? Thank you!
could let you spend none time for calculating padding from the with of an element!
I'm basing the breakpoints based on ideal line length for reading in the next version of my wp theme, Swift.
Ideal line length for reading is 50 to 75 characters.
For tablets we can accommodate a sidebar (30%wide), break point for it would be approximately 35 to 50em.
Not all fonts/languages have the same number of character for a give length. Here is a simple tool to find the number of chars..
That is a nice tool, Satish. Easy, does the trick. Thanks for the addition!
"Would you consider using different line lengths throughout your website? Or would you simply neglect the scientific arguments for longer lines and solely focus on the preference of your reader?"
Haha nice touch 😀 Admittedly I'm not very happy with the site design either and thus in the process of improving that. I'm not a pro WordPress designer though so I'm taking my time. The influence of line length is something I've learned in the process. Currently the template uses +-150 characters per line, which I think should be down to 100 whilst using a larger base font.
I think I have some good scientific resources to back up my claim and if you read it fully I've included the most important argument in favour of shorter lines as well. I was hoping you might have some data/experience to base that opinion on that was useful in the discussion.
Thanks Yoast for this interesting information. As a newbie to the blogosphere focussing just on the contents of my blogs your analysis was really depressing for me. I will never reach this level of perfection when creating articles.
On the other hand I see many articles in magazines and even on websites of bloggers that use a perfect design but the contents weakens slightly.
Thanks again. Your contribution raises my awareness for a more intense engagement with layouts. However I see a big problem in presenting the same article on a PC, a Tablet, and a Smartphone.
I’m sorry. I tried to comment on my iPhone but that didn’t work.
So I moved over to my iPad. Maybe there is a duplicate copy now.
Great to see you writing about this Michiel. It's a hard process to go from not doing anything in CSS to creating a responsive layout.
First, about font sizes: I like to use Compass' Vertical Rhythm. This makes sure the em values are used correctly when adding paddings and margins.
For padding and margin (and widths for breakpoints) you can also use a framework like Neat to do this for you. You can easily control the grids and columns the elements need to adhere to without messing with your CSS that much.
I also think that for responsive layouts a mobile first approach is much easier that going from big to small. This is because the basics should only be expanded on bigger screens and not scaled down to small screens. This makes is a lot faster to go to different grid formats and column spans.
Good writeup and hope you'll share more findings in the future. It's a constant struggle to create the perfect workflow, but tools like SASS and their frameworks really help us on the way.
Look to Brazilian cuisine. One of Brazil's leading food companies invests in promoting delicacies for export, proving that the nation's favorites appeal to taste buds worldwide. Reuben Ford reports.
Maricota Alimentos offers a wide menu of Brazilian-style frozen savory foods, ranging from finger-food to ready-made meals. It is one of the most recognized national food brands, marketing 180 products and producing more than 50 for private labels.
The company is also responsible for taking Brazilian tastes to tables around the world – the United States, Europe, South America, Asia and Africa – prioritizing international and cultural trading standards.
The world’s largest producer of cheese rolls (bread rolls made with cheese), Maricota has introduced new options to the growing industry for pre-prepared food.
In the last four years the company has focused not only on domestic sales, but on expanding its overseas markets, adapting its recipes and ingredients and incorporating new products into its eclectic lines. Producing 20,000 tons of products every year, Maricota aims to offer quality food at competitive prices on a global scale.
“Our factory is in Minas Gerais (a state known for its cuisine), and we take our name from the regional colloquialism for a good cook – Maricota. It is a name that, despite our size, characterizes the quality and style of our products,” begins International Business Manager, Camila Ozório.
Maricota Alimentos was founded in 1991, in Luz (Minas Gerais). From the outset, the company differentiated itself through the quality of its ingredients and service. Holding on to these roots has been vital in Maricota’s development, which aligns tradition with modern technology.
The company began by producing one type of cheese roll by hand. Still the bestseller, and representative of the brand, Maricota cheese rolls is now available in a range of gluten-free varieties; snack size, cocktail size, sticks, different flavors such as provolone, onion and garlic and low-fat options.
“Cheese Rolls are our flagship product. We are a reference in the market, thanks to a home-baked, fresh taste, high-quality ingredients and distinctive packaging,” Ozório says.
The success of Maricota’s recipes has grown to include other Brazilian specialties such as cod fish balls, cheese rolls and coxinhas (chicken croquette). The company also produces readymade international dishes, prepared to Brazilian tastes: variations of lasagne, pizzas, pancakes, tarts and kibe (Arabian style meat balls).
“As well as for our own brand we produce food for private labels. All of our fish products, with the exception of cod fish balls, are made for clients
