FEWD Week #7: Responsive Design

Description

Relaxr's user count has grown, and the number of users accessing the site from a mobile device has surprised everyone, even by today's standards. The product managers at Relaxr have asked you to return to the project and make their site responsive so it renders nicely on mobile devices. They had one of their internal developers make a few tweaks to your source code, and they have given you the new HTML / CSS files to work from. Using your code from previous assignments, or these starter files, build out the mobile layouts for the landing page and blog.

Real-World Applications

• Use media queries to render different CSS files according to screen size
• Revisit applications and projects to iterate on and improve code you've written

Technical Requirements

• Use media queries at a 768px breakpoint

• As a user changes the size of a browser window:

  • Content remains in appropriate divs
  • Content remains visible to the user
  • Fonts change size appropriately
  • Margins and padding change size appropriately
  • Content does not overlap
  • In the blog section, the two-column layout changes to a single-column layout when appropriate

Bonus

• Add different media queries for a 1000px breakpoint and a 480px breakpoint
• Practice converting fixed units to relative units

Evaluation / Submission

Students should start by using the starter code and adding the proper CSS media queries and CSS to update the site to look good on mobile devices. Please create a new repository on GitHub called "homework-responsive" and push your code to it when they are ready to submit. Please notify Barry via Slack or email once this is done.

The maximum possible score on this assignment is 28/28. Bonus materials are completely optional.
