User Experience Design · Design
It reminds me of a well-known problem «mobile app vs mobile website», just like it is discussed here, for example http://erminesoft.com/mobile-app-vs-mobile-website/ I guess the final thought is that all methods have their right to exist and the choice depends on your need.
Hello Abby,
I see that you look for good explanation of “pros and cons of responsive and adaptive”
I could say that every kind of design is good, but for certain purpose. For instance:
Responsive websites are a good idea if:
- You are limited in time and financial resources.
- You have a simple clean design and functionality without the necessity to adopt it to various needs.
- You aim to increase the speed and ease of maintenance and the update process of your website.
Adaptive websites will be a great choice if:
- You are absolutely sure that you need an audience with a wide spectrum of devices.
- You have both time and financial resources to create and maintain several variants of your product.
Maybe, it will give you some food for thought. Also, I suggest reading this article - https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/responsive-web-design-vs-adaptive-web-design-how-to-make-your-choice
It describes some basics of the topic.
Good luck!
