This is my experience as well. One other thing though is bandwidth constraints. Feeding marginally useful images to a bandwidth constrained device makes the application less responsive. So, some javascript "sniffing" is useful when this is the case and building the page with some <#if> ftl is he

Hi Kaanya, the short answer is yes. We also implemented a responsive web design with syracus: http://www.syracus.net/. I would recommend to you to use one of the standard ofbiz themes and have somebody rework it for you. Take a look at a beginners guide as this: http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/b

It would be best to leave the tax calculation service as-is. If a user enters a line item that is not a product, then they can also enter a tax amount. Without a product ID or product category, your proposals have no way to determine a tax rate - therefore they will not work. Btw, this discu

Yes, the technology all exists to support this ... not sure if I would say that it's ready to go out-of-the-box but all the pieces are available for a RWD solution. Take a look at our BigFish solution. Our demo shows a responsive design solution ... resize your browser to 450 pixels or less.
