8#make it responsive design#

Description

We want to ensure that our application looks beautiful and functions seamlessly across all device sizes — from mobile phones to large desktop monitors. Right now, our design doesn't adapt gracefully to smaller screens, which means our users on phones and tablets are having a less-than-ideal experience.

This is about making sure every single person who visits us feels welcomed, regardless of what device they're using. Let's make our interface responsive so it's genuinely usable everywhere!

Current State

Layout breaks on screens smaller than 768px

Navigation becomes difficult to use on mobile devices

Images and content don't scale appropriately

Touch-friendly spacing isn't implemented for mobile interactions

Goals

Make the application responsive and mobile-first, ensuring:

Optimal viewing experience across all common device sizes

Intuitive navigation on touch devices

Fast, accessible interactions on any screen size

A consistent brand experience from phone to desktop

Acceptance Criteria

All pages render properly on mobile (320px), tablet (768px), and desktop (1024px+) viewports

Navigation is accessible and easy to use on touch devices (consider hamburger menu or similar pattern)

Images scale responsively without distortion or excessive whitespace

Text is legible and appropriately sized across all breakpoints

Touch targets are at least 44x44px for comfortable mobile interaction

Horizontal scrolling is eliminated on all screen sizes

Layout uses CSS media queries (or similar responsive approach) rather than fixed widths

Application passes responsive design tests in Chrome DevTools and on actual devices

No console errors appear when resizing or switching between devices
