Congress.gov uses responsive design to look great on any device

One of the wonderful features of Congress.gov is its responsive design.  If you are like I was and have no idea what that means check out Mashable’s article, “Why 2013 Is the Year of Responsive Web Design.” (Congress.gov launched back in 2012; we are a little ahead of the curve.)

I also love the responsive web design of the site. It formats across any device I’m using and gives me a quick way to access Congressional information if I’m away from my desk.

So how can you take advantage of the mobile friendly responsive design?  Glad you asked.  The quickest way is to add an icon to your home screen of your favorite phone and tablet.

For an iPhone follow these three simple steps: go to Congress.gov, select the share icon in the bottom center of the screen (conveniently circled in red below), and touch “Add to Home Screen.”

After going to Congress.gov, select the icon with the red circle around it.
