Migrating old websites that do not respond + adapting web based apps to mobile is however, not very easy. These two cases are probably 90% of the use cases, as opposed to the other 10% that are "really really easy".
- Encosia 12y agoI agree with you, but you could say that about any site migration though, right? It's never easy to pull an old site forward to a new design/structure, responsive or not. That's been a huge pain point for as long as large sites have existed.
- tomelders 12y agoYou can't retro fit responsiveness. Or at least you can, but it's such a bad idea that no one should try it. It's the quickest route to legacy CSS that no one will every want to touch again. It means starting again, from design and UX all the way up to build. So for the entity that owns the website/web app it's going to be painful, but for every new website/web app, it's the norm and is pretty easy.
