RESPONSIVE DESIGN TEMPLATE FRAMEWORKS. ARE THEY ANY GOOD?
Yes, responsive design frameworks are a good thing but it all depends on your website. Remember there is no one solution for all and if you can use a framework to make a responsive design for all it will depend if you have a content base site and if your site is not "user-specific interaction dependent".
I have watched the Sitefinity webinar (embbedded below) and the tool is very useful for creating Responsive Design and even mobile that is content base such as magazines, newspapers and any other website that does not require the user to do a specifc thing on the site.
The added bonus on the tool is that the user edit blocks of layout template that is not table based and their text clean out any style done by text processors - this is a tool build with the user experience in mind.
However as Sitefinity presenter said himself at the end of the webinar "Responsive Design is not a complete solution..., there is still a lot of granulatity..." You can hear this part on the video by pushing the play to 46 min.
In other words, Responsive Design is fine for many websites that are mostly content based, but for all the websites that need "user-specific interaction" as I call, do Responsive Design is kill the site's ability to server their customer in an optimized way.
The consequece is that when a competitor come up with a better Smarthphone user-specific solution and starts to eat up their customers, the company will realize that Responsive Design is great for many things, but not for everything - by that time the company have already lost many of their customers.
To see the actual demo put the play to 27 minutes, before they talk about best practices of responsive and mobile design.
