Zoom in; zoom out. Scroll over and scroll down. And you still haven\u2019t found what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

If you have a smartphone, tablet, iPad or a similar gadget, you may have experienced the annoyance of visiting a website on your device that does not fit on your screen.\u00a0 The page may be too big or too small, causing you to embark on a scavenger hunt just to find the link you need or to finish reading a page.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a>However, several sites\u2019 webpages have been masterfully adapted to meet the needs of these devices. Beginning next semester, Lee\u2019s university website will join those ranks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have implemented technology that allows us to have one site that automatically adjusts the look and feel for the device you are using,\u201d said Director of IT Systems Nate Tucker.<\/p>\n

Because the layout of the website can adjust to whatever size screen you happen to have, this \u201cresponsive design\u201d makes visiting the website easier and faster, especially on the go. It\u2019s called responsive design because that\u2019s exactly what it does \u2013 it \u201cresponds\u201d to different forms of technology by providing a suitable format.<\/p>\n

While some organizations choose to design separate websites for different kinds of devices, responsive design accomplishes the same results using only one actual site. This helps maintain consistency between devices. While the new layout is different, you will not have to spend a lot of time figuring out where everything is because of its similarities to the original design.<\/p>\n

The use of only one site also means that even if you are working on a desktop or laptop computer, you can resize the window in which you have opened the website, and the site will adjust to the new size. This is particularly helpful when working with multiple windows or programs.<\/p>\n

The responsive design will be implemented January 2014. Check back in for more updates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
