Create Responsive Web Pages With Web Database Integration

I, Matt Davies Stockon, realize the importance of creating mobile-friendly websites that offer an amazing user experience. Your website should look professional and appropriate not just on desktop computer screens but across various devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and more. A responsive web design helps to solve that issue since it makes your website more user-friendly. Additionally, it is also important to integrate databases into a responsive website to make them more functional.

Here are a few tips you can follow to create a responsive website with web database integration:

1. Start with a fluid grid — Modern responsive websites are built on a fluid grid instead of pixel measurements. It helps to keep the website visually consistent across multiple devices and display the web elements in proportion to the screen size of the device.

It is divided into columns with no fixed dimensions which enables the heights and widths to be scaled to the screen size of the user’s device.

2. Set appropriate responsive breakpoints — Responsive breakpoints, also known as CSS breakpoints, or media query breakpoints enable your website content and design to adapt to different screen sizes and resolutions to offer the best possible user experience.

The breakpoints have to be defined in the code so that the website content can respond to the point and adjust the content according to the screen size. The most commonly used device resolutions across desktop, mobile devices, and tablets are as follow:

● 1920×1080 (9.61%)

● 1366×768 (7.87%)

● 360×640 (4.36%)

● 414×896 (4.34%)

● 1536×864 (4.11%)

3. Consider touchscreen usage — A responsive design should be calibrated to be accessed via touchscreen devices. This is because mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones are all equipped with touchscreen and nowadays, you can even find laptops with touchscreens too.

To do so, you need to optimize the different elements of the website such as the text, images, and videos so that they are easily viewable and can be pressed easily via the fingertip.

4. Create a database for your website — MySQL and SQL servers are the most popular Relational Database Management Systems (RDMS) for websites. To create a database in your responsive website, you can follow the steps below:

● Sign in to your hosting account and access the control panel,

● Go to the Database section and locate the MySQL Database Wizard.

● Click on the ‘Create Database’ option and simply follow the instructions listed

● Ensure the database is named after you and you create an appropriate username and a strong password

● Once you have completed creating the database, you have to create the user account details and configure the specific levels of access for each user.

I, Matt Davies Stockon, suggest you watch a few YouTube video tutorials to understand the more technical details of how to create a responsive website and integrate them with a web database. You might face many different types of errors while setting up your website but there is no need to get disheartened. You can easily find and follow in-depth video tutorials and troubleshooting tips to follow the steps correctly.
