Responsive development that delivers one codebase performing correctly on every device your users carry.
Fluid layouts, device testing, and performance discipline, so the experience holds from watch to widescreen.
Your users don't resize gracefully, they just leave. Temper And Forge builds front ends that hold on every screen.
Our Responsive Build Process
01
Device and breakpoint strategy
We start from your analytics: the devices, browsers, and viewports your users bring, weighted by revenue rather than assumption. Breakpoints get set where your content breaks, not where a framework's defaults happen to fall.
02
Mobile-first fluid implementation
The build proceeds mobile-first with fluid units and container-aware components, so layouts flex between breakpoints instead of snapping at them. Touch targets, readable type, and thumb reach are treated as requirements, not niceties.
03
Testing on real device hardware
Emulators lie politely. We test on physical devices across the matrix your audience uses, including the mid-range Android phones that dominate real traffic, and we fix what actual hardware reveals rather than explaining it away.
04
Performance and launch checks
Before launch, every viewport passes the same bar: Core Web Vitals, interaction responsiveness, and layout stability under slow networks. Responsive done right is invisible, and the checks are how we prove it's there.

Utile Design
Temper And Forge helped us launch our new website — during the discovery phase, they asked questions about our primary goals and helped us shape the vision together. Using our refreshed brand style guide, they developed three different options for how to execute on the website, then built everything out in Figma before moving to development. Following launch, we saw significant increases in organic search traffic and time on page. They were always up for a challenge — if we had modifications, they would definitely meet and exceed those — and every team member showed genuine care for their craft.
