I am starting with the website waters and I have started on the adaptive web design section. I am trying to figure it if you are supposed to build your website first with pixels and then convert them to percentages or just start with percentages.

6,531 PointsThe videos progress as if you've started with pixels in the Build a Simple Website section. I'd do that first.

4,139 PointsOk, so when I'm building a new website from scratch I should start by making the website with Pixels then convert everything?
