Hi EW, when we can enjoy making responsive pages in Everweb? It's more and more indispensable because most 3th party products needs responsive pages to embed. Contactforms, polls, forms, calendars, shopping carts, reservationtools, etc. Best regards, Raf ------------------------------- Kind regards, Raphael Pairoux |

You can already do most of these things. The Full Width widgets will create a responsive site suitable for both computers and tablets. The smart phone version ahould be created separately anyway as it will be much simpler and faster downloading. The Full Width Scroll Frame will display items like a responsive e-store and there's a dedicated widget for displaying both a responsive and a fixed width ECWID E-store in the E-Comerce widgets pack. There's a widget for displaying reposnive Disqus comments and also a modal. You can also use the full width modals to display responsive items and save a lot of space on the web page. If you need a widget to embed a specific item such as a responsive booking form, contact form etc, just send me the embed code. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

I know the widgets. I have a lot of them and they are very usefull making Everweb better. But in this case, creating responsive pages should be default in Everweb. I asked it in the past and ask it now again. It becomes unavoidable for the future of EW. It's important to convince the new generation webbuilders that Everweb is a complete standalone app. If the possibility of 'responsive' is not default and people try out the EW demo, I'm afraid many of them are going to make another choice. I hope EW can create a default widget or option to make a page responsive in case of. Maybe like 'this is a mobile page' or something. ------------------------------- Kind regards, Raphael Pairoux |

The methods I have seen for creating a truly responsive site without using code are template based so are not very flexible in that you need to choose a theme with a certain layout and then stick to it. A better option would be to create the full and tablet site using the full width style widgets and then have a separate responsive template for smart phones and smaller tablets. Although none of them appear to be showcased anywhere, I have seen quite a few examples of sites created with the full width widgets which - to most visitors - will appear to actually be a responsive design. I don't think too many people are getting the idea that the full site MUST be created with touch devices in mind now that the iPad Pro and touch screen laptops are becoming popular. These devices don't fall into the "tablet" category but need finger size touch user inputs. I'm still seeing lots of user sites with text hyperlinks, hovers, oversized image and media files and stuff like that which just shouldn't be used in modern web design. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

It's not up to everweb users and/or Roddy from everwebcodebox to thinker about and come up with solutions for creating responsive web sites, that responsibility stands directly on the shoulders of RageSoftware who have been avoiding the issue or coming up with lame excuses for some time now. The vast majority of web apps similar too Everweb, and there are many, have come up with solutions. All be it not always elegant solutions but still solutions. I don't expect a presto magico and it's done solution, I know far to well that there will be some work involved, work that I am more then willing to do to satisfy my web clients who want and will pay for a responsive sites. It seams that RageSoftware isn't interested in responsive web design or listening to our request, of which I have made 100's over the past 3 years that have all fallen on deaf ears. Blogging seems to be RageSoftware main interest. Last edit 9 years ago |

A lot of the so called responsive sites I am seeing are created in Wordpress. IMHO they are not well designed and are aimed at impressing the masses rather than actually be effective at selling products and services. As I pointed out in another topic, these sites typically cost around $10,000 and are very inefficient due to the huge amount of javascript required to make up for the designers lack of knowledge. If I were intending to spend that kind of money I would be more inclined to hire someone is capable of using one of the tried and tested systems like Bootstrap or jQuery Mobile. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

This has nothing to do with Wordpress. Even not with the cost, webshop, how many pages, etc. Point is that EW is probably the only standalone app which can't make responsive sites by default and I can't find an online webbuilder also. It becomes almost indispensable. Ask Google and the customer why. Unfortunately, I suppose EW is not going to provide responsive design in the near future.

Everweb is a great product and has the potential to be extremely popular for many web designers in favour of WYSIWYG and visual design, however it is still lacking the ability to BLOG and be truly responsive or offer a decent alternative that is simple enough to implement for the average user. More importantly though, I would like to see more responses from the devs to these customer concerns as customer relations is crucial in any software/service business. Please listen to us and respond in a timely manner EverWeb as you have many fans and supporters willing to back you through this! Respects, Simon H |
