Responsive Web Design: Breakpoints.
8 February 2013 · adeeb
- Mobile, tablet and desktop are the three popular breakpoints.
Ususally they are at 480, 768, and 992 px.
- Breakpoints should not be fixed but should be custom depending on the type of site.
For example, whether your site has a 3 column design or a 1 column design.
- More breakpoints means a more fluid and smoother experience.
But too many may make your site slower.
- Experiment and see what works best for you site.
Try it across different browsers, devices and resolutions.
- Do not target specific devices with your breakpoints as this is always changing.
Rather target what you feel will give the user the best experience.
