Responsive you ask? Absolutely.

Ensuring the Cosmetics by Mary website was optimised for all screen sizes was a key aspect of the project. I employed a mobile-first design strategy, utilising flexible grid layouts, media queries, and scalable images to adapt the site seamlessly to various screen sizes and resolutions. This approach ensured that the website looks and functions well on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. Rigorous testing across multiple devices and browsers confirmed consistent performance and appearance, providing users with a smooth and visually appealing experience regardless of how they accessed the site.
