  • Desktop only. It's a intranet only app, VPN only, and also often restricted by security policy. Budget and time are still fine, it's more of a choice on how much I want to maintain it. With the rigid nature of the content and the UI, I just don't see a responsive design helping at all, other than impressing other designers. Commented Feb 20, 2012 at 5:49

  • Well, I don't get to make final decisions, so I may very well be tasked with making a 100% fluid or responsive design. I'm looking for some response from other people who have built browser-based administrative tools. Most of my experience is in forward facing websites where the decision would be easy. But using something like the twitter bootstrap responsive grid (goes from 1170px, to 940px, to 724px, I really have no idea if that's something that an internal app should use. It's a much bigger task to design an interface that can fit 3 different widths. Commented Feb 21, 2012 at 2:44
