When websites and apps were created a bit over 10 years ago, no one even thought of mobile web applications. Good screens were at best if they were full HD, and very rarely people would use something like 24 inches or 27 inches’ screen size.
Today, the situation is much different. There are a whole range of handheld devices and most of them have higher resolution when compared to what was there a few years ago.
Device screens have evolved, resolutions have increased, not only that but you also now have wide screens, curved screens, and diagonal sizes going well over 40 inches. This all comes with a new set of possibilities but also a new set of problems that developers and testers need to solve. The more the device fragmentation increases so does the need to create a responsive web design that will render properly on different resolutions.
In this guide, you will find top responsive web design challenges and their solutions.
Viewport
Viewport is the visible area for the user . It varies from device to device and is smaller on a mobile phone when compared to a desktop.
Earlier webpages were consumed only from the desktop. Then, people started surfing the internet using tablets and mobile phones. At this point fixed size web pages were too large to fit the viewport. To fix this, browsers on those devices scaled down the entire web page to fit them to the screen.
