[Solved] Web Design Practices to best handle various devices

Question

There is some good advice here although a couple of things mentioned may cause you some confusion given you will be researching responsive design for the first time. First off it is ok to use px sizes and you do not always have to use % or em’s. Your choice of measurements depends on your design and how you would like it to respond. SASS is definitely something worth learning but for now it has no relevance to you learning responsive design.

There are endless tutorials on youtube (try this channel) about building basic responsive websites. If you want to learn responsive web design and really understand the principals behind it then I would recommend this book Responsive Web Design. Its a very short read but is a great resource.

Also you mentioned that you have limited coding skills so I am assuming you only have basic HTML. Although HTML in principal is easy to understand, when it comes to building responsive websites you really need to add extra focus not simply on semantic tags, but on how your HTML is layed out. Again this depends on your design and how you want your site to look on different screen sizes, and as you start to build your first projects it will become clearer why I have mentioned the importance of your HTML layout.
