I for one, am in favor of having at least some type of simple backend
available to site admins to make quick and simple changes (such as adding
or editing news, adding release information) in such a way that doesn't
require coding. While we currently have several interested parties with
HTML/CSS knowledge, that may not always be the case when a new release
comes along, etc.
CSS Media Queries are a definite requirement to making any site responsive
to different user platforms. While basic responsive websites can be coded
fairly easily through Media Queries, it's a good idea to use an analytic
software to measure what platforms visitors are using. For example, if 90%
of visitors use Internet Explorer 6, then simple media queries won't work.
(Fortunately IE 6 is no longer a huge threat. For an example, during a time
period of Jan. 1, 2014 through yesterday, of 311 sessions of Internet
Explorer users on a website I run, 0 used IE6. On a different site for the
same timespan, it was 4 of 204 with an overall session figure of 1,507.)
