As seen from the examples, defining breakpoints without layout and content is meaningless. Ultimately this will create better user experiences on all devices.īreakpoints when and where you need them. What about pulling up two columns and creating a six column row? With Foundation Framer, It’s a decision the designer can now make with limited effort. Different spacing often leads to changes to font sizes this and other design changes can be applied at breakpoints as well.ĭesign for extra large devices with no pain.Ī similar case can be made when designing for (very) large screens. In this case, a custom breakpoint (the white dot) is added that changes the layout from a single column into a two column structure at 450px. The ability to easily add custom breakpoints to adapt the layout, while working with real content, leads to more flexibility and better design decisions.

However, using the default breakpoints, it would need to be one or the other either a single column or a two column for every screen smaller than 640px. The two column design looks great at the current width, but at smaller screens a single column might be preferred. These are the blue dots on the image below. Curious why that is? Let’s take a look at a real design case. After all, fanciness can only be built upon solid grounds. When we mapped out how our responsive apps would function, we focussed on the core of a device-agnostic design: custom breakpoints with a fully adaptable layout.
