4. Implementing Desktop First Approach

The desktop-first approach is a design methodology where web development begins with designing for larger screens (like desktops) and then adapting it for smaller screens (like mobile devices). This approach prioritizes creating a robust layout for larger screens and then adjusting it for smaller ones.

Key Points:

1. Starting with Desktop Design:

   • Designing the website layout considering larger screens, with more space and detailed content presentation.

2. Creating Layouts for Desktop:

   • Using media queries or CSS techniques to design layouts that look good on bigger screens.

     /* Example of a desktop layout */
     @media (min-width: 1024px) {
       /* Styles for desktop screens go here */
       .container {
         width: 80%;
         margin: 0 auto;
       }
     }
     

🙌 Congratulations, You just created a Responsive Website.

Now our step should be to design for smaller screens. Let’s discuss this in the next chapter.
