Should users be forced into a responsive design (without the ability to opt out)? I think my mistake here was stating that the problem was with responsive design, when I really was talking about responsive frameworks. Design implies best practices where as a framework implies effective implementation. The majority of responsive frameworks, including responsive 960, etc.. etc.. make it easier to create responsive designs but at a cost of generalizing mobile rules. Anyway, I welcome criticism that's how we challenge our minds. |

Should users be forced into a responsive design (without the ability to opt out)? Most responsive frameworks are designed to take full width content and step it down for mobile readability. This is done by stacking, hiding and replacing the original full width content with alternative styles. |

Should users be forced into a responsive design (without the ability to opt out)? Sure, np. Websites designers can be stupid sometimes. There was a time when thestar.com would block a visitor and force them to download their App from iTunes, when they detected the screen size was small. Only problem, they did this for all phones including Android and Blackberry visitors as well. |

How to indicate that an image is a link too? I was a hover junky, but with therapy and counseling I've over come my addiction. I think website design is improved when you don't relay on hover states anymore. |

Should users be forced into a responsive design (without the ability to opt out)? That is the common practice with responsive layouts, because they often can not be opted out. They are coded in the CSS as media rules. It's not that websites don't offer the option. It's that most designers don't know how make it optional. The best practice is to default to the non-responsive website and offer the user the mobile version as an alternative, only showing the offer to screens that match the rules. Should they opt in to the mobile version, then remember it, but provide a way out as well. |

Should users be forced into a responsive design (without the ability to opt out)? Design testing is the key. Just as in software, the designer must verify that it works on a wide range of devices. That the user experience is consistent and effective. Just assuming that a responsive framework will do the work for them isn't going to cut it. |
