    They both seem to work well for me - tested by resizing my browser to various widths and everything moves around just as it should do. Nice.

    Nice work. But why not use a responsive framework like foundation or bootstrap?

    I'm all for learning if that was the reason, I was just curious as to why re-invent the wheel(?)

    I've never looked into those tbh. I've always done my own coding with html and css and thought it was time to look at html5 and responsive design.

    Sounds good, Phil. I only asked to see if it was for learning purposes.

    Getting experience using an open-source and industry standard responsive framework will do wonders for your CV if you were still looking to get into the industry. I know, because that's what just got me a new job. ;)

    Looks good though, and shows you understand the concepts.

    Bootstrap? Is it getting that established?

    I do tend to think of myself more of a designer than a coder, and in that respect wouldn't want to spend too long studying up on something I may not need.

    Of course a bit of coding knowledge should help if I was to apply for a design position.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_(front-end_framework)
    If it's good enough for NASA and MSNBC, I should imagine it has it's worth.

    It is used plenty in the industry. To be the most popular project on GitHub, it has to be pretty well used.

    Look on numerous job boards for front-end related job opportunities. You will be sure to find 60-70% of them looking for experience and knowledge in a responsive framework of some sort.

    That's all I am saying.

    If you dev with Firefox, there's a great deal of must have developer tools.

    e.g.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-developer/
    This gives you a plethora of tools - lets you resize the screen to test resolutions, outline block level elements, and shows responsive layout sizes.

    And Firebug is another mus have
