Responsive design enables digital experiences to adapt to different screen sizes without compromising usability or performance. By following these guidelines, teams can build consistent and accessible interfaces across all Sharjah Government platforms.
We are using the same breakpoints from Tailwind CSS
| Breakpoint prefix | Device | Minimum width | CSS |
|---|---|---|---|
| sm | Mobile | 40rem (640px) | @media (width >= 40rem) { ... } |
| md | Tablet | 48rem (768px) | @media (width >= 48rem) { ... } |
| lg | Tablet/Laptop | 64rem (1024px) | @media (width >= 64rem) { ... } |
| xl | Desktop | 80rem (1280px) | @media (width >= 80rem) { ... } |
| 2xl | Large Desktop | 96rem (1536px) | @media (width >= 96rem) { ... } |
Users access government services through different devices, screen sizes, orientations, and input methods. Responsive design ensures that essential information and actions remain available and easy to use in every context.
A responsive approach helps teams:
The Sharjah Design System follows a mobile-first approach. Interfaces should begin with the smallest supported screen and progressively adapt as more space becomes available.
Starting with mobile encourages teams to:
Desktop layouts should expand and enhance the experience without changing the core meaning or functionality.
Breakpoints define the screen widths where layouts or component behaviors may change. The Sharjah Design System aligns its responsive structure with Tailwind’s breakpoint model to ensure consistency between design specifications and implementation.
Breakpoints should be used when the content or layout requires adaptation, not to target specific devices. Teams should avoid designing separately for individual phone or tablet models.
Responsive changes may include:
Desktop L - 1440px
Mobile 375px
The responsive grid provides a flexible structure for organizing page content. Containers, columns, gutters, and margins adapt according to the available screen width.
Use the grid to:
Layouts should reflow naturally without creating crowded content or excessive empty space.
