Not long ago, serving a perfectly tailored layout to every visitor, no matter what device or browser he or she is using would have sounded like fantasy. However, today more and more websites make use of CSS media queries to offer visitors mobile friendly responsive layouts and it is probably going to be the industry standard. Designing and implementing responsive websites takes, extra effort and the techniques and responsive patterns are still immature. Therefore, you will notice that the quality of responsive websites vary a lot and some may look a bit broken on a few view port sizes.

One option for rolling a fully responsive website design out on a tight schedule and a minimal budget is to use predesigned responsive website templates (roundup @ tripwire magazine) or WordPress themes (collection @ splashmagazine). We also maintain a large set of responsive WordPress themes here at CreativeCan you should check out.

Before you make important decisions in your own project, it is always a good idea to look for inspiration by checking out the features and design of existing websites.  In this article, you will find a large collection of high quality responsive websites for your inspiration.
