Responsive Design Case Study

We were recently asked to optimize a client's site, login.wiki for responsive desi

Our client is providing tutorials for the use of popular web services such as GMail or Outlook. Tutorials range from Hotmail login to Outlook login.
The site was not mobile optimized and when Google announced its April 21st "MobileGeddon" Update, our client wanted to make sure that he wasn't affected.

We worked with our client to identify areas that were most relevant to mobile users. It is important to understand that not all content blocks might be equally applicable to mobile users. For examples, large data tables may not be relevant for users on small devices. Generally, users on small devices are looking for more 'casual' type of information.
We identified multiple blocks of information where we decided to hide these on smaller devices in order to allow us to focus on the content that is most relevant to users.
After our optimization the site delivers a consistent message across devices. To the left is a screenshot of how the Login.wiki's GMail Login Tutorial page now looks like on mobile devices.
