Our plan is not to do responsive design — Svija is really meant for designers, and for any content that requires real design, there will need to be separate versions for mobile and desktop anyway.

Part of what's fun about Svija is that you can design content very rapidly, since the page is an exact reflection of the Illustrator file.

I suspect that introducing responsive aspects would break that experience. However, we will be producing a page editor at some point in the future and when that day arrives we'll be looking into how best to handle these issues.

Right now, with Illustrator as an editor, it's just not possible.

Svija works by sending the smallest configured page (the mobile version) for the first request then checking the browser. If it's a bigger window, then the page is reloaded and only the correct version is sent for any future requests.

I want to be clear that I am not saying that all sites should be built this way — Svija is an experiment to see if this makes sense.
