Mobile first question for existing Word Press theme

Hi there.

I'm customizing a Thesis 2.1 skin for a WP site and as it is now, the skin is using desktop first for it's responsive design. Should I continue to follow this approach, or should I still be thinking mobile first when creating my own media queries?

Thanks

Jonny

Definitely mobile first. I'm currently working on a Wordpress theme and I realized that mobile-first is the best approach else you'll end up refactoring down the line.

Hi David.

Thanks for the reply. Just to confirm, the skin I'm customizing already uses desktop first. I didn't create it, I'm just customizing. So, knowing this, is mobile first still the best approach?

Thanks heaps

Jonny
