Overview

What if the interfaces you build didn't just fit screens - but truly adapted to them? Have you ever wondered why some websites feel effortless on any device, while others break the moment the screen changes? Or why certain interfaces seem to ""breathe,"" rearranging themselves naturally as users move from desktop to tablet to phone? The Living Web invites you to rethink how modern interfaces are designed, built, and experienced. This book is a deep, practical exploration of adaptive interface design using HTML5 and CSS - written for designers and developers who want to move beyond rigid layouts and create experiences that feel flexible, intentional, and future-ready. Instead of treating responsiveness as a checklist, Dorina Kock presents the web as a living system - one that responds, evolves, and adjusts gracefully to its environment. Inside these pages, you'll discover how to design layouts that flow instead of snap, how to structure interfaces that remain clear and usable across screen sizes, and how to think in terms of adaptability rather than fixed dimensions. The focus is not on trends or gimmicks, but on timeless principles that help interfaces remain resilient as devices, resolutions, and user behaviors continue to change. You'll explore topics such as fluid layouts, responsive grids, adaptive breakpoints, scalable typography, and modular interface components - all explained with clarity and real-world context. The book emphasizes why these techniques matter just as much as how to use them, helping you build a mental model that carries over into every project you touch. Are you a developer who wants cleaner, more maintainable layouts? A designer looking to better understand how interfaces behave in real environments? Or a creative professional who wants their work to feel polished, modern, and dependable across devices? If so, this book was written with you in mind. Rather than overwhelming you with jargon, The Living Web takes a thoughtful, human approach - guiding you through concepts step by step, encouraging curiosity, and prompting you to question how your interfaces respond to real users in real situations. The tone is professional yet approachable, making complex ideas feel accessible without oversimplifying them. By the end, you won't just know how to build adaptive interfaces - you'll understand how to think adaptively, designing systems that grow with the web instead of fighting against it. Because the web isn't static. Screens aren't predictable. And great interfaces shouldn't be either. Welcome to The Living Web.
