Dominion Adaptive Websites

Apple Fanboy (like Alex)

<raises hand and says YES!> I don't "fanboy" many things, but I definitely appreciate not having to do 5 million things just to do 1 thing. But anyway, let's get this thread back on topic:

Responsive Design

In a nutshell, it is simply a single website that is resolution sensitive. It plays well with small mobile browsers and can be built to even play well with massive resolutions like you may find on a 30" monitor (2560 x 1600px). It is definitely cool as hell to grab a corner of your browser while on the Boston Globe's website and see how it scales up/down.

Granted, dragging the corner of your browser is not a regular computer practice, but looking at one website from a computer and then transitioning to a mobile device later is. Carrying a singular browsing experience across multiple platforms is the real advantage here. Dominion gets a big :thumbup: for actually getting this to market.
 
For those still debating the proper use of the terms Adaptive and Responsive, here is a very good article on the subject:

Thanks for the link George. I sat through a demo last week. I was very impressed with how well this works. Nice job to Dominion to being one of the first in our industry to offer websites with this feature. From what I gather during the conversation, we'll be seeing full adaptive design as well. Very nice!

A dealer criticizes Dominion's marketing of "adaptive user behavior" technology, arguing they're misleadingly labeling standard responsive/adaptive web design (multi-device optimization) as a behavioral feature when true behavior adaptation—like showing different content based on user history—isn't yet available. Dominion acknowledges the confusion and commits to clarifying their messaging, while other participants debate terminology and explain that responsive design, though not revolutionary, remains a genuinely important feature for dealer websites that many still lack.
