Next time you have a question about Andrew Jackson or Crazy Water Crystals, you won’t need to wait until you’re back at your computer to look it up in NCpedia. We’re now mobile-friendly!
We’ve recently completed an upgrade of NCpedia that includes a design refresh, including improved support for mobile devices. You may notice that the look of the site has changed a bit, and it will continue to evolve as we add more content. But the big change for site visitors is the use of responsive web design to provide a much better mobile browsing experience on smartphones, iPads, and tablets.
NCpedia scales itself to the size of your device automatically. On a big monitor you’ll see the large version of the site, complete with browsing menus and a sidebar:

But on your smartphone you’ll see a reorganized version that’s easier to navigate on the smaller screen, without zooming or horizontal scrolling, without redirecting to a mobile-only site, and without having to download any apps. This is done with a customized version of the Zen theme developed for Drupal 7.
