White Paper: Responsive Web Design

In 2012, CoffeeCup Software released some of the first software in the world to support a then-little-known new feature in the CSS3 standard: Design breakpoints which instruct one style sheet to "respond" to the size of the screen displaying it, changing the resulting structure, swapping content, and allowing a single web page to be both desktop- and mobile-friendly—effectively retiring the need to make an entirely separate website for mobile devices.

This white paper was the result of market research and interviews with leading designers at the forefront of what has now become the gold standard in web design. I wrote the copy and typeset it into a template I created in Adobe InDesign. Every part of this white paper, from the words to the illustrations, is my work.
