Questions on Responsive WordPress Theme Design
I’ve been giving a lot of thought to Responsive Web Design lately and how it affects — and ought to affect — WordPress Theme Design. Mark Boulton’s latest article A Richer Canvas has me thinking about it even more. Designing from the content out is something I always strive to do. I think all good designers should strive for it. That said, Designing WordPress Themes is an interesting challenge for someone that believes in designing from the content out. It becomes even more interesting when you start creating a responsive layout that adapts to different screen sizes without knowing what content will fill that space. But it’s not exactly a problem. It’s just … interesting.
What do you think? Have you started to bring Responsive layouts into your WordPress Themes? How do you approach good design without content? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
