Responsive Principles
summary
Claims three practical principles: content‑first conversation — start from plain structured text and serve meaningful alt/transcripted content; universality and accessibility — design for diverse users and reflect that diversity in personas and teams; and modular namespaces — build self‑documenting components (BEM/OOCSS, Sass, style guides, picture element, SVG) so contributors can reason about the system. Examples include a Code for America refactor to simplify HTML for volunteers, BBC component split (navigation vs unpredictable content), use of Guardian content API, and tradeoffs around automation and complexity.
