![]() Edge Reflow is a relatively new program from Adobe, having been announced in 2012 and released in February 2013, with the elevator pitch of enabling you to "Design the responsive web" and "Create beautiful responsive designs". The tricky part is that right now you can't actually use it directly to create responsive websites, only responsive designs. This means you can open up Reflow and use its visual design interface to create fully functioning design prototypes, with color schemes, layouts, form elements, links and text content in place. ![]() You can preview your design both within the tool and in Chrome, and you can set breakpoints, make your design responsive then preview it for mobile through Adobe's Edge Inspect tool. Edge Inspect is designed to mirror the screen display of your laptop or desktop browser on a variety of mobile. However, at the moment that's as far as you can get. You're as yet unable to go ahead and export your design as an actual website. There is no direct control over the HTML and CSS that makes up the design, and Adobe make it very clear that the code output for previews should be considered just that preview code and not of production quality. So, after going through the process of designing your site in Reflow, you have to put it together a second time in order to create code that a live site can use.įor some designers this is just fine creating a functional prototype which clients can green light is an integral part of their process. For many designers, however, creating a site twice over makes Reflow a tool that is as yet too inefficient to adopt for the purpose of responsive website creation. There is some talk of full export tools being added at an indefinite point in the future, but then other talk says Reflow will only ever be a design tool and will never incorporate a workflow for complete site creation. So while things may change in the future, for now we can only assume that for those who wish to have a functioning site at the end of their design process, Reflow may not be such a good fit. That said, while Reflow is perhaps not a complete website creation tool, it does have some features that can make it a very useful website element design tool. To me, the biggest perks it currently offers are its Photoshop-like CSS controls which allow you to see the effects of your choices in real time.

You can control colors, backgrounds, borders, shadows, glows, curved corners, opacity settings, filters and more in a very familiar environment.Īnd while Reflow doesn't give you code export tools for a full site, it does give you the ability to output copy and paste CSS for one element at a time. ![]() ![]() To do so you just click the element you're working on to select it, then down the bottom of the screen click the icon at the end of the breadcrumb trail.
