Discussion on: Responsive websites that are not so responsive

The trick in such cases is to manage the line lengths to a reasonable number of characters. If the site chooses a font size based on the screen width to achieve it, then it has the effect of disabling text zoom, which is an accessibility problem. So I suspect a better approach is to present content in a variable number of columns of text. But whether that works or not depends very much on the nature of the content being presented on the page.

Look at here. I use this approach on my personal website.

Yes, that's a good idea. Will need to look into that more carefully.
