Hi.

I just realized that I'm limited to create up to 10 breakpoints in Responsive Site Designer (desktop to mobile). Somebody know why? Is there are another technie to expand those limitations? The last project I did, I was needing at least 13 breakpoints. I have had to add it manually after exported and then work on hardcoding css.

That is a lot of breakpoints! Typically most sites have 3-4 at the most. If you are finding you are needing so many, you may want to re-think the design of your website.

I used to add a lot of breakpoints, but I found that simpler is much better. I agree with Scott. Use as few breakpoints as possible.

Did you know that Web Form Builder can be used for both simple and complicated forms and that it's not limited to the default fonts and buttons? Take a look at a form we developed for WindowTinting.com.

If you want to have your web-site at the larger viewports (desktop/large tablets) look like just another brick in the wall then stick to 3 or 4 breakpoints,, ,,,,,,on the other hand if you wish to have something different from the same old stuff at the larger sizes (smaller mobile devices are best viewed with the page content stacked in blocks of course) then have as many breakpoints as you need (up to 10,,,, why they allow up to 10 then say 3 or 4 is enough is beyond my way of thinking) with most of them being at the higher end.

I often use up to the max. It's true that the more you have then the higher the essential files especially the CSS, but then I use a file deflator (server side) there are many about, but first check with your hosting provider which one's they support, which can reduce the file sizes (including images) by up to 50%).
