The Raleigh-Durham Web Design Group

The Web Design Meetup is an open floor forum for people with Web-related problems or interests. No matter what your background or skill level, amateur or expert, freelancer, entrepreneur, developer, or other, you're welcome to attend!

Attendance is usually diverse and mixed. Ticker topics are set in advance to spur ideas, not as a limit. The agenda at the regular monthly meetup is always "open floor", meaning we want people to feel at ease to be active in the discussion.

So whether you're a designer with a Web business, a businessperson with a site, or a novice with technical questions, please come on out and join us. No doubt you'll find someone here who can respond.

    Responsive DesignAt the last meeting two attendees had a little back and forth about doing responsive design -- one used a CSS framework, the other did not -- and we thought, "HEY! Let's talk about how people approach responsive design!"Are you using a framework - Twitter Bootstrap, Foundation, Blueprint, Gumby, Kube or anything else? Do you exalt in hand-coding your creations or prefer using a design tool, CMS template, or someone else?
