do I need to know joomla to make the website responsive built on joomla?

The website is already built and designed on Joomla CMS, and they are asking me to make it responsive, and I don't know anything about Joomla. Do I need to learn Joomla in order to do it, or I can simply make the website responsive by CSS and javascript?

Thanks

CSS and javascript. It helps to at least know an outline of Joomla and how it works. But basically yes just good ole css.

It's always good to have a grounding on CMS like Joomla but I'm just looking at Bootstrap by Twitter just now. If you want to learn to make responsive websites quickly, Bootstrap is a great place to start. :-)

Hi MJ Mo

Also be sure to read the documentation at getboostrap. :-)

You'll see all the classes you need, how to link bootstrap to your site, as well as exciting demos of what Bootstrap can do. Good luck and let us know if we can help further.
