Different devices

[Archie]

Hi, I am making my first tries with sparkle and what confuses me, that obviously I have to construct at least three different layouts for PC, Tablet and Mobile. It is getting a total mess, when I start this because I have to start the layout from the beginning. Why does a responsive template not resize text to a readable format? I have no time to each time I build a website to do three different layouts. Is there any solution or I am doing something wrong?
Thank you for any help.

Workflow Processs

Hello Everyone, I am in the midst of recreating my blog to take advantage of the wonderful Layout Blocks but now I’m wondering what my workflow should look like… Every page I create in wide view, should I then create the mobile page? Or should I do the entire site first in wide view and then create the mobile view? Do I also need to make an iPad one too? Or is automatic good enough? Any assistance you could provide would be truly appreciated! I want to make this as pain free a process as pos…

Workflow Recommendations for Designing Webpages and Assets

I’m writing to request recommendations for the best workflow using Affinity apps to design Webpages, and then to export 1x, 2x and 3x raster assets. It’s my understanding that the W3C has established a theoretical, device independent, CSS reference pixel grid that designers can work to with a pixel density that is 96 ppi, where the various mobile and desktop devices that end up displaying the Webpages will apply a relevant Device Pixel Ratio (1x, 2x, or 3x) to scale the Webpage type, layout and…

Thank you Mr. F. for your reply. This is exactly what I thought, when I go through the second video. At least I have to do a totally different layout for the mobile page. It is a pity, because I had wished, that this is automatically done.

Hello.

Of course you need to make a different layout for a smartphone. An automatic can’t decide how you want to arrange the content. And another important tip: use styles for the text sizes. This will save you a lot of work later.

But this procedure should have been clear to you - so how Sparkle works. And there are many satisfied users here.

Keep at it and don’t despair. Here in the forum, a lot of questions about these topics have already been asked and answered. Also use the search function.

Thank you for your help. I see the advantages and the limitations more clearly. The limitation is not in the software but more in the time I have. Overall it seems to be a very good software.
