viewport

Vocabulary Word

Definition

A 'viewport' is the section of a web page visible to a user on their screen. It changes based on the device being used, like a computer, tablet, or phone.

Examples in Different Contexts

For online retailers, optimizing the 'viewport' can enhance shopping experiences. An e-commerce specialist might advise, 'Ensure our product images and checkout button are visible within the initial viewport for easier navigation.'

Practice Scenarios

Design

Scenario:

The interface's most important elements must be easy to find and use. We should place them where they're always visible.

Response:

That's an excellent point. We should position the important elements within the viewport at all times.

Tech

Scenario:

Our website needs to be responsive and user-friendly on all devices. This one-size-fits-all approach isn't working.

Response:

In that case, let's design the websites to respond to the viewport size of the user's device.
