Multi-Screen Strategy with Responsive Web Design for Second Image National
Business Situation
At present, responsive layout is a major trend in the web world. It allows a website to be used on any web enabled device – not just the traditional desktop. With smartphones and tablets dominating the marketplace, organizations need websites that work on these smaller screen sizes. Responsive layout enables developing a site that works on tablets and smartphones and ensures that the site remains relevant for a long time, thereby reducing annual IT spending.
Our client, Second Image National, is a premium legal services company, which provides document photocopying, records management and distribution, national authorization and subpoena services, online radiology viewing, medical records organization, and court exhibits to the legal, insurance and general business communities across the United States.
The client, as a provider of document management services, is a dynamic company with focus on leading edge technology and outstanding customer service. The client realized that smart phones and hand-held devices are no longer used just for social networking and are in fact increasingly being used for professional use.

Solution
LTS worked jointly with the client’s business team to deliver a proper solution based on client’s specific requirements. They analyzed the client’s existing website and informed them that the users were visiting their website from different devices, ranging from smartphones to tablets on different mobile browsers. This rapid shift from desktop to mobile internet access required a new approach to web design. Being a leading player on the web, the client’s website required to mirror the quality of their services and needed to remain consistent across all media platforms. So, the only solution for them was to get their designs responsive ready, rather than maintaining multiple versions of a website to accommodate multiple devices. The client basically needed to employ Responsive Web Design to their website.
Using Liferay’s tools and LTS’s web design expertise and experience in Responsive Web Design, LTS’s expert team of developers helped the client achieve a versatile and properly designed website to deliver an optimal viewing experience to the users, irrespective of the type of device a website is viewed on. The developers used Liferay for developing the new web design as it can detect the screen width of a device, using WURFL (Wireless Universal Resource File), a Device Description Repository (DDR), CSS media queries and JavaScript. They specified the CSS for each of the four common display sizes, and the images now decreases in size or are hidden while the content and navigation remains the same when they are seen on a smartphone or tablet.
