There are a few different approaches to multiple-resolution-friendly web design and the application of media queries which have emerged in recent years. Some of the practices you've probably already heard about include: "Mobile First" - Starting at a narrow phone oriented width of around 320px and then increasing in size from there. "Desktop Down" - Beginning with a full-sized design then scaling down as required. "Content First" - Establishing test content at the beginning of the process and then designing around it progressively. "Device Specific" - Targeting a series of device-specific resolutions with breakpoints at corresponding px values, e.g. phones at 320px to 480px, tablets at 768px to 1024px, 1200px+ for desktop etc. "Device Agnostic" - Creating a 'one design fits all' system which flexibly fits to any resolution.
