> Issue 2: Responsive Design is a Prerequisite for Accessibility Is actually, logically true? It’s clear what this is aiming at, but I’m not sure it follows from the premises. If a user has only one device, and the content he accesses can be represented accessibly on that device, then it does not seem to be a fair statement that that content needs to be responsive. I’m not sure either, then, whether that view is just splitting hairs: few content is for one device (group) only. Yet a more realistic and also popular scenario may still be something like designing for some lowest common denominator that may again be accessible from most devices, without being responsive in the spirit of how we talk responsiveness these days. And that, too, would doubt whether it logically follows that responsiveness is any prerequisite for accessibility. -- Jens Oliver Meiert http://meiert.com/en/ ✎ The Little Book of HTML/CSS Frameworks: http://meiert.com/frameworks
