Flexbox & Media Queries

[justaguy]

I am beginning to take a serious look at Flexbox as my “solution” to RWD. I have been rather hesitant to tackle RWD at all as it seems quite “involved” for the novice that I am.

With that aside, will learning/using Flexbox negate the task of having to master media queries? Will I be required to design “mobile,” “tablet” and “desktop” variants of my site? I have combed the internet looking, reading and getting either more confused, or more frustrated.

UGH!

Quite simply…No.

Flexbox is a way of laying out designs only. It’s very adaptable but it’s not a one-shot solution to responsiveness.

What it DOES so is allow your to adapt your layout using media queries in a much simpler way than before instead of hacking around changing floats and positioning.

Sorry….but it’s still worth learning…pretty soon all sites will (or at least should) be built with flexbox.
