- 27. • Advanced elements – A basic fluid grid is the priority; but to be fully responsive we must often cover slideshows, tables, tabs, multi-column type, custom widgets, forms, and more. • Touch input – Touch input is a critical development component as we move away from a mouse- first model of human-computer interaction • RESS and server-side conditionals – Heavy lifting for user agent detection and conditional media deployment is done by the server, not the device.

- 30. Wireframes? responsive prototypes Pros: Cons • gets specific about • requires someone on repositioning and the team have front-end content without skills promising every detail • may not prevent the • one asset per template need for more detailed instead of three or four wireframes
