Summary

In this chapter, we glanced at the short story behind responsive web design, as well as the viewport meta tag and CSS3 media queries, which formulate responsive websites. This chapter also concluded that we are going to work on three projects by using the following frameworks: Responsive.gs, Bootstrap, and Foundation.

Using a framework is an easier and faster way to get responsive websites up and running, rather than building everything from scratch on our own. Alas, as mentioned, using a framework also has some negative aspects. If it is not done properly, the end result could all go wrong. The website could be stuffed and stuck with unnecessary styles and JavaScript, which at the end makes the website load slowly and hard to maintain.

We need to set up the right tools; not only will they facilitate the projects, but they will also help us in making the website more easy to maintain, and this is what we are going to do in the next chapter.
