Both of these layouts us the “Wiki” page layout. These are out-of-the-box layouts that do not come with
Publishing Features enabled.
This means you cannot create a custom layout for these pages. You can make them responsive by
adjusting the tables in the layout, but it is very difficult to do.

Bootstrap uses box-sizing: border-box;
This means that padding does not affect the
computed width of an element.
SharePoint uses box-sizing: content-box;
This means that if you add a border to an element
it equals the element + 2px.

WITH GREAT POWER…
Just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should!
Time to think about the user experience:
• Do you want your users to scroll forever when down
on a mobile device?
• That beautiful banner image and rotator do not add
any value on a phone.
• Mobile users are using data to load your site, size of
images and files matters. Time to optimize.
• Think of options for links and buttons to be easier to
use for touch.
• Remember, there is no hover functionality on a
mobile device
