This is rad, but Microsoft handling of fonts in their browser is so terrible in the past that I hesitant to jump on this bandwagon.

They got a long way to go to convince designers to take them seriously.

I commend you for your effort, but you can get a designer for cheap, and that can elevate your product tremendously.

Without you having to hone your design skill if you are not interested in it.

It is just a cool demo that shows us the extent of possibilities.

Like the people who bike/run cross country, when a flight from LAX to JFK is under 6 hours.

This is true, and I'm actually curious enough to want to build a Responsive Design website.

But the problem with fads is that they go out of style, so if in two years this whole phenomenon blows over, we are stuck with a large responsive website that we sunk all that time and money into and it just looks dated.

Thanks for everyone's thoughtful responses.

I'm researching Responsive Web Design as an option for a large e-commerce site. But for me, for a large site with a lot of dynamic content and functionality, it doesn't seem ideal to simply shrink it down to one column.

And I also wonder about the amount of time it takes to create designs taking all screen sizes into consideration.

Anyways, thanks again.

Is anyone else have the opinion that Responsive Web Design is a fad?

It seems that you are better served if you design your mobile site in the style of an App, and your website the traditional 960px grid. Tablets handle the desktop site okay for the most part.

It's like a scam...no one is forcing you to be a victim of a scam, you just don't know better. reply

It's not about being coddled, it's about exploiting entrepreneurs who are either desperate, or new to the game. We don't want to encourage that type of behavior in our community.

"entrepreneur learns that the hard way, so be it."

That attitude is like saying children should learn to look both way before crossing the street the hard way...by getting hit by a bus!
