Overview
Introduction to breakpoints
In this video, I dive into the essentials of breakpoints and how to apply styles effectively in a non-mobile-first environment.
This is especially useful for those managing large sites or blogs. Throughout the tutorial, I demonstrate how to set and manage breakpoints, ensuring a seamless transition from desktop to mobile views. By the end of the video, viewers will have a comprehensive understanding of how to work with breakpoints in a desktop-first design workflow. The process includes applying styles from the desktop down to smaller devices, adding additional breakpoints for larger screens if needed, and ensuring all sections, including menus, are optimized for mobile displays. This approach is particularly beneficial for developers coming from a desktop-first background.
