010 Jeff Burnz and Responsive Design in Drupal using AdaptiveTheme - Modules Unraveled Podcast

Jeff Burnz talks about AdaptiveTheme and how you can use it to build custom responsive themes.

Some questions he answers include:

  • What exactly is AdaptiveTheme?
  • How does AdaptiveTheme change for different devices?
  • How easy is it to create a sub-theme for AdaptiveTheme?
  • I’ve seen Corolla demonstrated by Ryan Szrama in some of his Drupal Commerce videos. He said that he likes it a lot. What makes it so good?
  • What other sub-themes are available off the shelf that I can use in my Drupal site?

Questions from Twitter

I asked, on Twitter, if anyone had any questions for you about responsive design and Drupal, and here are a few that I got back:

  • Paul Johnson (@pdjohnson): How do I sell responsive design to my clients?
  • Paul Johnson: What viewport widths do you work to?
  • Jon Stieglitz (@jonstieglitz): Can you talk about responsive vs. adaptive? And with that, would you explain the difference between the two?
  • Jon Stieglitz: What is best practice when dealing with images in responsive design?
  • Paul del signore (@pdelsignore): I think how images + imagecache is handled in adaptive would be cool to know

Good to hear from Jeff Burnz. Nice one.
I'm currently building a Drupal Commerce site and chose to use the seemingly excellent AT Commerce theme. I have to say it's gone beyond my expectations. I'm well impressed with it.
Unlike other themes I've used I haven't yet had to tweak the css here and there for this and that, which is almost unheard of... but it's early days and customers are the queerest of folk, so best not to tempt fate!
However, the many customisable features are going to save me a lot of work, especially with regard to getting the colours right. That's something I can, with a bit of a tutorial, hand over to the customer. Faaaaaantastic :)
Right now I'm taking Corolla for a test drive.
Great themes and, judging by the project pages, great support too.
Keep up the good work, Jeff.
