    Responsive design is ONE website made to scale to different screens (most notably phones) using css.

    The fact that you have to scale something so it fits on a smaller screen limits your options thereby making it look GENERIC. Collapsable menus, fluid grids, top to bottom scrolling... etc are all the RAGE thus resulting in a trendy and ever so generic style.

    It's actually a lazy/easier way of building a website rather than building two separate sites ( *still only one backend) - One for mobile/touch events and one for desktop/mouse events.

    • Nonsense. What about extra wide screens...? Tablets...... ?set
    • tablets, extra wide screens have (relatively) same aspect ratio. Phones, however portrait orientation forces responsivenesshotroddy
    • *phones forces you to be responsive due to it's orientation.. from my experienceshotroddy
    • ie. you have to stack elements below one anotherhotroddy
    • You have no ideaset
    • this whole post is nonsense... responsive isn't about scaling, it's a rearrangement more than anythingmonospaced
    • The Apple site HAS a generic responsive look to it... except it's not responsive.ETM
    • It looks like it should stack and scale easily based on the arrangement of most sections.ETM
