Mobile First Responsive Web Design from UIEpreviews

Many websites we see in the mobile browser look beautiful but struggle to perform. This slowness comes from optimizing designs for the desktop, then extending them to mobile.

So if this is your traditional process, take heart: it’s about to change for the better!

Start practicing mobile-first responsive web design by reordering your CSS, assets, and images. And learn how from Jason Grigsby, co-author of Head First Mobile Web. He’ll show you how to handle retina-display images and which tools to use for mastering mobile first.
