[Pro] Responsive Website Design?

I just picked up a new client who owns a pizza place. He’s looking for a website that’ll be viewable on desktops computers as well as i devices. This sounds like it would be a perfect application for a responsive website design.

Have any Freeway Pro forum members built a responsive website for a restaurant? I really don’t know where to begin in terms of the construction.

Thanks!

Smarter folk may have better ideas, but for me inline construction is
mandatory in Freeway Pro.

In theory, you should begin with mobile design and work up from there,
though I have yet to make that work for me yet.

For the last two responsive sites that I built with Freeway Pro, I started
by using and dissecting this tool… http://app.responsify.it

Combined that with some evolution on my part making inline Freeway sites to
move forward.

I’m still using Coda 2 to develop and dissect code, as well as Safari’s now
essential-to-my-toolbox Developers Tools… especially the Inspect Element
window - which, if you didn’t know, not only hi-lites elements and trace
css cascades - but let’s you ADD AND ALTER HTML AND CSS ATTRIBUTES!!!

I’m now living in a world of instant feedback.

Is there a tutorial on Safari Developer Tools?

I wrote this brief guide for the Softpress knowledge base a few years ago although it should still be pretty much valid;

Check out the official Apple docs linked at the foot of the page too.

Just throwing this in as a possibility but the template that comes with Pulse cms is responsive I believe. Might be worth looking at as a starting point.

Was about to say the same thing.

We have built a few responsive sites but it was all manual coding. You will need to have fairly good understanding of the box model process to do it in FW plus a good dose of CSS knowledge.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately, my knowledge of CSS is somewhat limited. Maybe I’ll get lucky and it’ll be built into FWP 6.

Stu, do you have any examples of Freeway sites built with Skeleton you can
point to?

Looking at implementing Skeleton on FW6 and it looks like it’s going to be a massive task manually entering the CSS. No way of importing a .ccs file. FW6’s CSS inputs are still scattered over numerous input windows and extended fields. I was really hoping to see a modern CSS editor in FW6.

Instead of bringing the styles into FW couldn’t you call the Skeleton CSS as an external file by adding a call in the head tag after the default FW CSS files?

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="css/skeleton.css" />
