2,880 PointsMedia query - Approaching Mobile Websites first ?
Hello my friends, So I was told in this lecture video and few other videos regarding media queries. It makes sense to create mobile size websites first and making your way up. So when ever I work on new projects creating a website, should i need to create a media query first before anything else?

This means that mobiles won't even need to load the styles that aren't required for mobile and therefore reduces load time and improves the mobile experience.
Hope this helps :)
