Abstract
Reactive web design is the approach to suggest design and developments. This has been reacting to
different behaviours of environments and users on screen size, platforms and orientations. Here, the
reasons behind the thinking of designers for responsive designs are demonstrated. This is the way in
which different host users have been relying upon the resonance design is being shown here.
Besides, different previous researches are reviewed that have already come up with various
questions and problems for the users.

1. Introduction:
Digital media design technology is a wide-based exploration regarding the process and
business of digital designing. On the other hand, responsive web design is the practical approach
suggesting that development and design have been responding to the behavior of users and
environments on the screen size, orientation and platform.
The following report discusses why designers think more about responsive designs. Here,
how various host users have depended on resonance design is analysed. Moreover, prior researches
are investigated that have already come up with questions and concerns of users.
2. Problems:
Every project is unique and different. However, project failing to do that are the results of
same kinds of issues. Seeking instances of failed projects has not been hard. However, making any
fair analysis of challenges has resulted in failure that has not been simple. Here, projects can not be
finished on time and under budget and has been fail. This project is unable to deliver the intended
quality and results. This can be judged hardly as successful (Kerzner and Kerzner 2017).
This has been hugely adopted through small to large businesses. Adoption of tablets and
smart phones since past years has emerged profoundly. Despite how much they have realised, the
devices and technologies have taken over lives and ultimately bought to it. However, this is the
beauty of the technology as it has been evolving at higher rates than the creators of it are unable to
understand (Lee 2017).
2.1. Purposes:
Prior it is known, responsive web designers must move from just being a concept to being
adapting to almost all individual existing irrespective of the size.

Further, sensitive web designers have been allowing only websites to provide greater user-
experiences around various screen sizes and devices. As countless versions are developed and
designed for websites about every device there, the process has not been practical wise and has been
highly expensive (Estes 2016).
As one renders different sites that are ineffective for future changes in technologies, it turns
out to be impossible to maintain. Here, responsive design is a smart solution for proofing the future
of the websites. This renders sites that are ineffective for future technology changes and make them
just impossible to control. Mobile design has never been more vital in such cases. This has been
complicated to design those websites for different varying devices (Carver 2014). However, this has
been turning into complicated while developing around varying web browsers.
Ever great web browsers comprise of their mobile versions and rendering sites differently.
Here, it also turns also trickier as there are various versions of those browsers that are required to be
catered. All people cannot be expected to be over the latest version. Hence, it is essential that design
works are there and reactions are there to various versions of the browsers.
2.2. Specific issues:
It is vital for all the users to as they visit any page or applications executing any resonance
design. The project managers should know that the job has been much more difficult apart from
telling people what to do. To write effective project documentation project managers need to know
how to communicate and what people should be thinking. Hence exceptional writing skills are
needed for project managers (Thomas 2017).
At first, a situation is to be considered, where any website designed and updated. As one
moves for a distinct mobile website, one need to create two separate sites. Being responsive, it
becomes the same for all cases. This has been saving money and time in the main design stage

(Ricker and Roth 2018). It has made that easier to develop the team. Having a responsive design, one
can create different design changes for websites and get reflected for every resolution and great
screen sizes. This is all done in one single place.
Further, as time is considered, it is more practical. Here, the huge benefit to using responsive
design for developers have come down regarding how much effort and time is saved. Here for back-
end developers. There is just a single version of the site to be upgraded. Here every content move to
the similar place and the complete project turns much more comfortable. Besides, for front-end
developers, the process is ultimately a better choice than to create various style sheets (Andrews and
Smrdel 2017). As the CSS codes are under one place and there is no necessity of numerous edits to
make minor changes in design, clients find that more natural and led time-consuming in managing
and maintaining one site with less content to distribute (Harris et al. 2014).
Moreover, it is cost effective. Thus testing and creating around many websites raises the
maintenance, support and development overhead. Further, responsive design resolves redundancy.
Users can also same money through optimising the most popular gadgets with simple supporting the
others. Moreover, it is easier to maintain, and various missions of a similar site are managed. This
also leads to lots of efforts over maintenance (Perakakis and Ghinea 2017). As multiple people have
been handling mobile and desktop sites, placing all the synchronisations needed for higher deals of
planning and communications. It gets solved with responsive designs.
Moreover, it has a stronger presence online. Various organisations across the world have
been catering mobile visitors and have been comprised of particular mobile sites loving over a sub-
domain. Though it has fit the brand standard, it never felt like the original website (Walsh,
Kapfhammer and McMinn 2017). Having a responsive site, the design of the first websites are
