I would like to share with you the new article that just got published on Byz Blog:
Responsive mobile web design is a relatively new design technique that enables webpages to adapt their layout to the viewing environment. When using it, one single website can adjust to display effectively on all web-viewing platforms. No matter if your site is shown on a desktop, a tablet device, an iPhone or a Blackberry, the site’s look is reformatted and arranged for optimal display, while making it easy to read and browse without the tedious need to zoom in or slide the pages from one side to the other.
Following is an example of a website that uses responsive design:

Responsive design and WordPress
If you have a WordPress website or are planning to start one soon you may want to consider using a mobile web design theme.
In the last few months several responsive themes have been developed. This means that you have a large variety to choose from. Even the WordPress default theme, “TwentyEleven” is responsive. My favourite theme providers Elegant Themes, StudioPress and Woothemes all have beautiful new themes that are mobile responsive.
Before choosing a theme confirm that the content is displayed logically on a mobile device. You can use this free tool provided by StudioPress to check the behavior of any website on some of the more pervasive mobile devices, i.e. iPhone, iPad and small phones.
