Responsive Design Won’t Fix Your Content Problem
In typical Karen McGrane fashion she makes a clear case for dealing with content first. Not just for responsive sites, but for any site.

What Bruce Lee can teach us about web design.
“Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.” – Bruce Lee
This one quote contains all the wisdom we need to approach our web projects in a way that helps us survive in an unpredictable and ever changing industry. Let’s face it, there are times were it can feel like we’re doing battle as we work on some projects. Battling with clients, stakeholders, designers, developers and everyone else that’s involved throughout the process. So what better way to face these challenges then armed with an attitude that is adaptive, flexible and fluid.
