Mobile-First Foundations
Learn the core principles of designing for mobile devices first, then scaling up to larger screens. You'll work through viewport configuration, touch interaction patterns, and performance considerations on mobile networks. Sessions focus on practical decision-making: when to stack, when to reflow, and how to test on real devices.
Adaptive Grid Systems
Deep dive into CSS Grid and Flexbox—the technical foundation of modern responsive design. You'll master auto-fit and auto-fill techniques, learn when to use Grid versus Flexbox, and build reusable component patterns that adapt across devices. This course includes hands-on projects where you'll create flexible systems, not one-off layouts.
Responsive Typography & Spacing
Master fluid typography, readable line lengths, and proportional spacing systems that feel natural across all screen sizes. You'll learn how to use CSS custom properties and clamp() functions to create scales that don't require breakpoint-specific tweaks. We cover readability standards, hierarchy, and spacing that adapts intelligently without constant media query overrides.
Testing & Device Workflows
Learn systematic approaches to testing responsive designs across real devices and browsers. This module covers device lab setup, browser testing tools, performance audits, and debugging responsive issues. You'll develop a testing checklist tailored to Toronto agency workflows and learn which devices matter most for your audience.
