10,616 PointsMinimum width for responsitive Layouts?
Hey guys =)
I´m currently creating my first homepage and encounterd some problems with my responsitive layout ... hopefully some of you can help me.
As I´m creating an position: absolute navigation I reached the minimum width of 302px. When getting below the 302px my whole layout completey collapses. So my question is now: What are the minimum width-range you guys are designing your layouts? I think 302px is enough, but I´m kinda unexperienced.
I could imagine designing a completely new navigation for devices below 302px, but if devices below 302px aren`t really existing it would be kinda worthless,ur?
Would be thankful for an answer

In your case, if you're not designing for smartwatches 302 is enough.

Courses Plus Student 16,352 PointsI would argue 320 is enough unless you have a special reason for going down to 302. Some layouts I've done start breaking around 319, but that's OK because I wasn't targeting anything smaller than a smart phone.
