Ensure that the AnQiCMS website content is perfectly adaptable to display on different devices

Now users have various ways to access websites, ranging from desktop computers with large screens to various sizes of tablets, and to compact smartphones, with a huge difference in device size.How can we provide a smooth, beautiful and fully functional browsing experience on all these devices, which is one of the keys to the success of website operation.AnQiCMS was designed with this in mind from the beginning, providing us with a variety of powerful functions and flexible strategies to ensure perfect adaptive display of website content on different devices.

How does AnQiCMS achieve the 'magic' of multi-device adaptability?

AnQiCMS provides three flexible website display modes at the bottom level for us, and we can choose the most suitable method according to our actual needs and technical budget, so that the website content can better adapt to various screen sizes.

FirstlyAdaptive Mode.This is the most common and recommended way.In this mode, the website only needs one set of templates, and the layout and style of the content can be automatically adjusted according to the screen size of the access device through front-end CSS technologies (such as media queries, flexible layouts, etc.).config.jsonthe file containstemplate_typeset0，The system will run in this mode. This means that the maintenance cost is relatively low, as only a single set of content needs to be updated to be displayed on all devices.

ThenCode Adaptation Mode.如果我们希望在不同设备上呈现截然不同的设计或更精细的交互，但又不想维护两个完全独立的网站，那么代码适配是一个不错的选择。In this mode, the website still has only one domain name, but AnQiCMS will intelligently judge the user's access device (such as PC or mobile phone), and then dynamically load the corresponding PC template or mobile template.templateCreate an independent page for mobile devices under the directory.mobileCatalog, containing template files specifically designed for mobile phones.config.jsonoftemplate_typeNeed to be set as1. In this way, when mobile phone users visit, the system will automatically presentmobilethe template content under the catalog.

Finally isPC+Mobile Site Mode Independent Mode.If our PC station and mobile station need to have completely independent domains, content, and even operational strategies, then AnQiCMS also provides a powerful multi-site management function to support this need.We can set a primary domain for the PC end and a separate subdomain or independent domain for the mobile end, and fill in the "Mobile End Address" in the "Global Feature Settings" on the backend.config.jsonIn the middle.template_typeset2This pattern provides the greatest flexibility, but relatively speaking, the maintenance cost and content management complexity will also be higher.

Content is king: Ensure that media resources are 'form and spirit' on any screen

In addition to the choice of website display mode, the optimization of the content itself, especially the adaptation of multimedia resources such as images and videos, is crucial for achieving perfect adaptive display.AnQiCMS in content management also provides many conveniences, helping us easily cope with these challenges.

Image processingIt is the most important in adaptive display.Large images not only load slowly but also severely affect the browsing experience on mobile devices.

  • Whether to start Webp image format:Enable this feature will automatically convert uploaded JPG, PNG, and other image files to a smaller WebP format, which can significantly improve the loading speed of images without affecting the visual quality, especially benefiting mobile users.
  • Whether to automatically compress large images and specify the width:We can set whether to automatically compress large images that exceed a specific width, such as default compression to 800 pixels in width. This can effectively control the size of image files and reduce user data consumption.
  • Thumbnail processing method and size:AnQiCMS supports various thumbnail generation methods (such as proportional scaling by the longest side, trimming by the shortest side, etc.) and custom dimensions.This ensures that the image size matches appropriately whether displayed on the list page or the detail page, avoiding image stretching or distortion.
  • Batch regenerate thumbnails:If the design style or requirements of the website change, you need to adjust the thumbnail size. This feature can update the thumbnails of all images in batches with one click, saving a lot of manual operations.
  • Image lazy loading:When creating templates, bylazy="data-src"This tag usage can implement lazy loading of images, that is, images are only loaded when they enter the user's viewport, which significantly improves the initial loading speed of the page, especially effective for long pages.

Video contentAlthough AnQiCMS itself does not handle video adaptive encoding directly, it provides a rich text editor that supports video insertion, and we can use the CSS flexible container (such asaspect-ratioproperties orpadding-bottom技巧）来确保嵌入的视频播放器在不同屏幕尺寸下都能保持正确的宽高比，不会溢出或变形。

精心打磨：模板与设计细节

AnQiCMS's template system is based on Django template engine syntax, which provides us with great flexibility to build and optimize adaptive interfaces.

  • Modular design:Template Supportinclude(Reference public code snippets such as headers and footers) andextends（Inherit basic skeleton）label, which allows us to centrally manage adaptive CSS and JS code, avoiding repetition, and it is also easier to make local adjustments and maintenance.
  • Condition judgment and variable control:PassifLogical judgment tag, we can decide whether to render certain content or apply specific styles in the template based on specific conditions (such as certain background custom parameters). This is very useful for implementing more complex adaptation logic.withLabels can temporarily define variables, which is convenient for passing data between different template fragments.
  • Custom Content Model:AnQiCMS allows us to customize the content model, which means that fields and layouts that are most suitable for specific content types (such as articles, products, events) can be designed.Combined with frontend adaptive design, it can elegantly present on various devices regardless of how complex the content structure is.

Operation Efficiency: Continuously optimize and maintain

The adaptive display of the website is not a one-time task, continuous optimization and maintenance are also important. The backend settings and feature management of AnQiCMS also indirectly support this goal:

  • Cache update:Regularly clean up system cache to ensure that the latest content and style are displayed on the front end, especially after updating templates or adjusting image settings.
  • Traffic statistics and crawling monitoring:Focus on the traffic sources and user behaviors of different devices helps us discover potential adaptation issues and optimize content and design accordingly.
  • Static rules:The friendly URL structure not only benefits SEO, but also makes it simpler for users to share links, indirectly enhancing the overall website experience.

In summary, AnQiCMS as an enterprise-level content management system provides multi-dimensional support from the bottom-layer architecture selection to content optimization tools, and to flexible template design, to ensure the adaptive display of website content.By making reasonable use of these features, we can easily build websites that provide excellent user experiences on any device, thereby better serving our users and business goals.

Common Questions (FAQ)
