I can still remember the good ‘ol days when “making your design device-compatible” basically meant ensuring that it looked good on a 1024px-wide screen.

There wasn’t much of anything else to do back then in terms of variety. Sure, we had some larger screens and resolutions getting popular, but as long as you managed to make your design 1024px-compatible then you’ve had yourself an optimized creation.

Mobile web browsing was non-existent.

But things have changed. Drastically.

These days, good web design doesn’t exist without the word responsive attached as a prefix.

Quite frankly, if you’re working on any web design project today, making it responsive is just as expected as placing the logo in the upper left corner.

Or is it?
