Re: Designing for mobile users

Thanks both for the pointers.... This particular website (more of a web-page) has been mooted for at least the last 18 months - so, once the client comes up with the content, I'm hoping he won't want it done 'immediately'. My other business is staned-glass and fused-glass - and I'm at the back end o...

Re: Designing for mobile users

I've tried the 'fully responsive' mode with the layers and stuff provided here, but I found it quite limiting as I only have partial control over where things go. So, I now write using the 'adaptive' method. I have done 4 sites so far and all seem to work as I expect them to. I set the default brea...

HI Folks I know that there's a separate 'responsive design' forum - but this is probably less of a detailed techy quesition - and more of a general one..?

Is it because (perhaps) they edited their existing site with the trial version of WB14, before actually purchasing it?
