Why do you recommend building mobile first ? Aside from being best practice, it is much harder and requires more code to achieve a mobile layout from a desktop first build because it requires you to "undo" a great deal of the desktop layout. It is less code and work to build mobile first as it is a simpler, additive process. I can tell you from experience that desktop first is a nightmare. There is a pro and a con with swapping images, the pro, you can use bitmap images, the con, you have to have, as I mentioned earlier, maybe up to six different resolutions for your images. The CSS may be the easiest to do, the hardest will be managing your image Not necessarily. Most of the time I can use just three images. Each image can span more than one breakpoint. My base (mobile/phone) images usually get me up to my 600px breakpoint, for example. If you don't go the swap images route as suggested by Tom :) You have to design all in vector. I ask because, unlike previous web development experiences, I want to export my image assets perfectly, focus more on markup and styles and hopefully have an end result that plays well on most, if not all mobile phones and tablets and last but not least, desktops / laptops. See my second reply above. I'll also add that you will be hard pressed to get perfection in a web page compared to a psd. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
