Wicket and Responsive Design question

Hello,

I am new to Wicket and i need some advice about building a webapplication
with Wicket and making this suitable for several devices, like tablet and
smartphone.
What is the best way of building the markup pages with Wicket, or is it just
a way of including the right css3 and html5 to the pages afterwards?
Is it a good idea to make a Single-page application using panels or better
inherit pages regarding responsive design?

I hope you can help me into the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Gerrit

Responsive design means different things to different people. However, the 
most common definition these days has to do with markup that adjusts to 
various types of devices. Accomplishing this primarily centers around your 
HTML, CSS (using media queries, etc), and JS for enhanced features. Thus, 
most of that doesn't have a strict requirement for Wicket. If you're new to 
responsive design I'd suggest you compare responsive CSS frameworks like 
Bootstrap [1] or some alternative [2]. 
 
You can use most of these frameworks without any additional Wicket-specific 
code by using their flavor of markup and CSS class names, etc. However, 
there are integration projects that folks have made available to make 
common components that work with these frameworks (like wicket-bootstrap 
[3] or [4]) that you can also take advantage of. 
 
There are, of course, finer details to responsive design like providing 
alternative image sizes for different devices, etc. However, there are a 
myriad of ways those things can be accomplished and what you do largely 
depends on your other integrations (i.e. how you serve your static assets, 
etc).

Ok thanks, i will give it a try!

For this, I'm using Twitter's Bootstrap 3 : 
http://getbootstrap.com 
 
It's mainly HTML5 and CSS 3 stuff. 
 
With the wicket-boostrap project : 
https://github.com/l0rdn1kk0n/wicket-bootstrap/ 
The master branch is still using Bootstrap2 but there is a bootstrap3 
branch. 
 
Enjoy.
