12 great examples of publishers that use responsive design

ITV recently underwent a corporate rebrand that included a new logo and colour scheme, as well as a new responsive design website.

The broadcaster’s decision to turn to responsive design follows similar transitions by a number of other content sites in the past 12 months as they attempt to cater for a growing mobile audience.

We’ve previously highlighted 10 great examples of ecommerce sites that use responsive design, as well as looking at the problems with mobile ads and how they can be overcome.

    Don't forget Fairfax Media!

    We were the first media company to launch responsive design in Australia, back in August 2012.

    To date we have over 180 news websites using the latest responsive/adaptive techniques.

    Great examples, The Boston Globe is also quite impressive, and Smashing Magazine as well.

    Still responsive is cool but not always relevant. In the case of publishing houses it is definitely the best way to promote your content cross-platform.

    I have recently analised the pros and cons of responsive and mobile website on a article on my company blog. Here is a link if you feel like having a look.
