Breakpoints or Flex Grid and Flex Container

Post by brimanHTML »

Hello all,

My question on responsive layout is what is the preferred way of designing a responsive layout?

Is it still creating media (Break Points) for all the different sizes (320, 480 etc.) or is it more encouraged to use Flex?

Maybe it is a personal preference?

Thanks in advance for any and all replies :D

If you want absolote control of each breakpoint, then don't use flex grids. However, this is a lot of work each time you modify or add something.

I changed to flex grids with no break points and let the system sort itself out (with a few minor exceptions to control the layout via scripts). Much easier to maintain.

alan_sh,
Thank you for the reply :D

makes sense and I thing I will use Flex Grid but practice with Break Points also

Been a very long time since I have touched any HTML , so long in fact I cannot remember CSS being a thing at the time :shock:

Thanks again for the reply

If you want to see both types, I've done a template for a 5 breakpoint site here https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forum ... hp?t=88171

and a template for layout grids here https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forum ... hp?t=93336

Feel free to use/modify as you wish.
