Design and development should respond to the user’s behavior and
environment based on screen size, platform and orientation.

water and toothbrushes.

as a defect. http://alistapart.com/article/dao
It is the nature of the web to be flexible.

embrace this flexibility, and produce pages which, by being flexible, are accessible to all. http://alistapart.com/article/dao
The journey begins by letting go of control, and becoming
flexible. http://alistapart.com/article/dao
