Do you agree with me that creating a responsive website design is an easy task? No? Hm...scroll down and I'll show you the most simple way to do it.
My advice is concise: use CSS frameworks! Hundreds of web developers have spent thousands of hours building, refining and supporting them. A framework is nothing more than a collection of preformatted classes and functions. So why you still don't use its advantages? CSS is a brilliant style language of the web. With its help, you can easily change fonts, colors, content boxes, alignments and many other effects! Moreover you don't need to touch HTML to do this. Cool, isn't it? So now you know the secret of my good mood :))
I've showcased for you the hugest list of responsive CSS frameworks. I feel they are worth your consideration. These 37 frameworks will help you in your development. You can easily choose the framework that is right for you. Enjoy !
