Responsive Design Layout for Homepage

Hello all,

So, it’s time for me to re-make the home page design for my website, and I have a very sloppy start [URL=“http://www.worldreviewgroup.com/test/index.html”]at this link. The first (original) link displays how I’d like this to come out at full viewport width. I would like for the side windows that have the “Most Popular” and “Not Recommended” links to be re-positioned below the body content when the viewport is skinny (say less than 500px). I would like for the drop down menu content to stop dropping down at a similar viewport width, leaving just the section button for the user to click through to.

Hi, Ty. First impressions…

As designed, the center section of your page is 600px wide. It has to be redesigned before it can be narrowed to 500px or below.

The dropdown menus have a similar and a different problem. If the user uses a slightly larger font/font-size than you expect, the menu items wrap. This will also happen if you try to fit those menus into a smaller width. The dropdowns will not align under the buttons as they seem to do at this time. Go ahead and zoom text-only larger (Firefox) and see for yourself.

The wings can be shifted to the bottom, but they won’t fit side-by-side since they total about 580px. Would you consider a different layout?.. because, IMHO, this one won’t really fly as a responsive/fluid layout. The only part that is fluid is the “Hello everyone…” message box. You can see that when you zoom the font-size, also.

Whaddaya think?

I’m getting rid of that dinky “hello everyone” text and putting something more compelling and short like: “promoting integrity with common sense product reviews”

I updated the files at the test page.

I see all those problems. The graphics need to be changed to jpg, but I’m tackling this one step at a time. I did get the header to nestle nicely up to the top of the page. Don’t really know how I want to position these side windows.

You’re right. It isn’t going to need to be very fluid, but I’d like for the header change at a certain width. That should be simple enough. I really want this page to appear somewhat better on smaller devices. The landing page styles you helped me with look great on mobile devices. I should think I’m on the right track. A lot of these styles were originally copied over from the original- haven’t quite gotten around to every part of it yet. I started with the header so far, and I’m getting that cleaned up.

Just a bunch of random thoughts (this is a big task),
Ty

I have a suggestion. It might be helpful to use a couple of pictures/images of what you would like to see at wide and narrow widths (or at each change in the media query). You could put the image on your web site and post a link to it. There’s no need to post the HTML as long as we have a link to the test site and it is up to date. Right now, the test page looks a bit like it exploded and could use some duct tape :lol:.

Yes, this do-over will take some time.

Baby steps for starters… What would you like to move first?

EDIT: and try to be specific about dimensions. You mentioned 500px width, but that is not realistic with the current design. If your goal is 500px, then we need to talk about changes that will help get there.

Okay, if this sounds reasonable, I’d like for the middle of the site to shrink to 600 px.

first original/full width design - Something like the original will do fine for full width display

shrunken width - The side windows and e-mailbox are moved down below the main home page content.

When the page is shrunken, the drop down menus should just turn into buttons (or maybe you have a better idea).

The other thing is I’ve made the logo/header image with a smaller version below it. The background position property, along with the width, should be adjusted to display the miniature version of the header. I can post a screenshot of that, too, but I’m confident you know all about image splicing instead of loading a completely different image.

More random thoughts… I guess we should focus on the screenshots I’ve posted now.

-Ty

Hi, Tyler,

I’ve put a fabricated screen shot in your dropbox folder: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rcq9yw46mgtsxnu/HKfyNAWNL9 It’s similar to the one you posted.

This page is awkward to work with. It seems to waste lots of screen space. The"Most Popular" and “Not Recommended” boxes will shift to the bottom like those in this image at window widths below 1200px (pretty wide); initially there will be 300px of empty space on each side of the content area…

I’m not sure where to put the “WRG.com Updated” box from the bottom, and I’m not feelin’ warm and fuzzy about the “join our mailing list” ribbon. It looks lost down there.

What do you think? Is something like this what you want for the long term? Think creatively. :slight_smile:

Ronpat,

Yes, I do agree that the email submission looks like it’s just hanging out like a fox’s tail at the bottom - hardly even noticeable. Maybe the idea is to have another image splice for a long, horizontal e-mail submission form that covers a lot of the bottom width when it shifts from its original perch. I guess I’ll have to make my own screenshot, but I think that would be a good change for the e-mail box.

I did update the files at the test page. You’ll notice the header and lower logo should be positioned correctly. The drop down menus have been changed to get away from using pixels as units for everything. The next thing is how to size up and position the #midcenter div into its place in the middle of the layout.

About the windows shifting at 1200 pixels, we can make the inner grid reflexive, correct? Using percentages for the div sizes (for the mid center) should be able to determine max-width, no? Just like on the landing page layout images, those styles enable those images to shrink and expand, so, possibly, the drop down menu backgrounds can do the same? It seems we can cut down on the width using things like that, so the sides don’t shift at such a wide width. If they shifted at 1000px, that would be a step in the right direction (if not acceptable).

The test page doesn’t seem to be responding at the moment.

I do not think so

It should be just fine. I see it on my PC.

I’m thinking the e-mail box needs to take on the graphic style of the rest of the graphics and placed below the drop down menus. That way it won’t look so out of place.

Ty, Please see the latest screen shot. This is what I see in Firefox and Chrome. I can’t tell what you are aiming to do. Sorry.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rcq9yw46mgtsxnu/HKfyNAWNL9

Ah… my work is complete. Total chaos. :injured:

Looks like switching to em units threw off the drop down menu text. It looks fine on my PC.

I want to focus on one thing at a time. Right now, I’m trying to get the middle with the menus positioned in place- the center.

This is very difficult. I am certainly still getting a grip on CSS.

Okay,

Here are some diagrams I’ve created that demonstrate what the objective is.
Full width
Window shift

I’ve also updated the files on the test page.

I am still focused on aligning the #midcenter div back into the center as my next step. I am simply befuddled. :frowning: It won’t budge.

I added a middle content container with the i.d. of #middle, which surprisingly brought the side windows together.

Do you mind if I revert back to the old CSS that works on my PC (and presumably others)? Percents and ems are still out of control :slight_smile: If you do the reversion, that would be better because my latest copy is probably older than yours before you changed to ems and %.

Yes, reverting to something that actually works is the way to go; however, I remember you saying this about the text size on the drop downs (post #2):

The dropdown menus have a similar and a different problem. If the user uses a slightly larger font/font-size than you expect, the menu items wrap. This will also happen if you try to fit those menus into a smaller width. The dropdowns will not align under the buttons as they seem to do at this time. Go ahead and zoom text-only larger (Firefox) and see for yourself.

Apparently, I need to learn how to use percentages, em’s, and pt. in theory and practice. I’m under the impression that %'s are used on layout measurements (usually targeting div’s), em’s are used on padding and margin, and points are used for font sizes.

The application of units of measure is not so black-and-white. :slight_smile: We’ll talk more about them as we progress using applicable examples.
For the time being, consider percents as being useful as dimensions on fluid pages whose width is subject to adapt to a browser’s window width without a media query, or for font sizes. Ems are most useful for font sizes, sometimes for padding or margins if you want the padding or margin to change if the font size changes, and sometimes for widths in media queries. Points and pixels are not generally recommended for font sizes because they are fixed units; ems and rems or even percents are preferred. Percents and ems are equivalent as units of measure for fonts.

Hmm… I already knew that percentages were used to make fluid designs without media queries, but it appears to have slipped my mind when changing the units on the drop down elements. I found this tutorial when we were working on the landing page design? Have you seen my paper design for landing pages? Check [URL=“http://www.worldreviewgroup.com/music/guitartricksreview1b.html”]this design out!

I guess I am waiting for your suggestion as to why the midcenter div does not center… well, when you get a chance to take a look. It’s Friday after all.

Tyler,

I put a new folder entitled “WRGHome(4Ty)” in your dropbox with the hope that it behaves the way you wish. Please don’t try to use the code for your working page… it is not well tested and it may be possible to accomplish the changes more easily if you change you graphics. Let’s just call this a “test run”. It works in Opera, Chrome, FF, and should work in IE9+ (NOT IE8).

I did not use your existing home page code as a model for this code. So, none of the <div>s or classes can be plugged into your real code, plus the graphics have been recreated… in pieces. Remember… “test run”. :slight_smile:

It is based on your current working design which has a 600px center section (626px, to be more exact).
With wings, this one is 1200px wide (the breakpoint to drop the wings is at 1220px).
It is fluid below 626px, with one breakpoint at 560px (your choice).

There are more notes on the HTML page.

Try it out. See if it fits your wishes.

Hi, Ronpat, and thanks for the diligent input once again. :slight_smile:

Overall, this definitely makes a lot more sense. It looks absolutely wonderful, too, on a mobile phone.

I have added the drop down menu markup and styles into the mix now. I have an uploaded test site at: this new test page.

Next step I’m looking at right now is how to adjust the dropdownmenus.css stylesheet. A few things that need to be accomplished with the menus are…

-on a mobile device, the main-level list items need to stack/display vertically…
-on mobile-size displays/viewports, the child div menus need to stay hidden, and the parent list-items will just be links
-the size of these links appears way too huge on mobile.
-the background of the drop down menu needs to change with graphics I’ll alter for that to look nicely when the list items are vertical

I was able to get the last test page looking okay (on desktop), but this is definitely a solid foundation to build on.

Thanks, :cool:
Tyler

Hi, Ty.

In my zeal to get the test file out the door, I didn’t think to debug the z-indexes. Your menus are not clickable :eek:. I’ve replaced the WRGHome.css file in the dropbox with (rev1) that is layered properly. :slight_smile:

I would like to suggest that you make some sketches of how you would like the menus to look at different widths. I’m not good with mobile menus as my JavaScript skills are nil. I can help get you in the ballpark design-wise, but the JS functionality will require other’s skills.
