Responsive Design Template

What is Responsive Design?

Responsive Web Design makes your web page look good on all devices (desktops, tablets, and phones). Some elements used in Responsive Design allow your site to resize, hide content, shrink, enlarge, or move the content to make it look good on any screen. T

For the new UT Tyler Web Site, the Web team focused not only on the look and feel, but also the technical and flow of the site.

Some advantages of the new responsive design website at UT Tyler.

• Increase engagement. Responsive design enhances the user experience across multiple platforms by adapting to different screen sizes and devices to provide an optimized viewing and interactive experience.
• Excellent user experience. Responsive design provides the optimal user experience whether viewing on a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
• Publish content only once. Using a responsive design single site means updating content across platforms, such as a mobile website is no longer needed.
• Customizable content. The new responsive design templates includes more choices on how content is displayed for the specific needs of the department.
• SEO benefits. Google prefers a site that serve all devices set in the same URL. By implementing the SEO steps used by UT Tyler, web pages can be found quickly in Google.
• Saves time. While there will be an initial learning curve for OU Campus users, the effort placed in learning to update and build pages in responsive design will ultimately allow visitors to view content across multiple media platforms.
• Putting best practices into place. By using CSS and OU Campus, the new templates allow sites to easily be updated and follow the recommended best practices while following usability and accessibility guidelines.
• Easy to update. Content updated in OU Campus allows users to simply add content using form-based “multi-edit” or "just-edit", allowing the user to simply update content in one section as needed.
