I was just looking for a bit of information related to a proposal where the client asked for basic responsive design… and true to form, the internet delivered, giving me what I was looking for along with a ton of other info that was relevant, interesting (or both) – including the think piece that started the whole trend of “Responsive Design”!!!! That’s right, it hasn’t always been here, and it took a (damn fine) web designer to take a step back and look at the bigger picture… and come up with an approach that has now become synonymous with the “modern web experience”.
So… see where it all began! Go on, I know you want to… http://alistapart.com/article/responsive-web-design
