6,711 PointsWhat widths should I use for designing a website on Photoshop/Gimp
When designing a website on Photoshop or Gimp, I want to design, at minimum, the mobile and desktop versions. Ideally I'll also want to create a tablet version. I could argue for a designing four versions (mobile landscape, mobile portrait, tablet portrait, and desktop), but I digress.
So, sticking with the main three: mobile portrait, tablet portrait, and desktop, what widths are good ones to use for the initial design?
Obviously I'll adjust the breakpoints when coding, but I'm thinking about the initial design.

231,198 PointsBreakpoints should be set for the design, not specific devices. But an approximate breakpoint between mobile portrait and tablet portrait is about 420px, and then above 768px for desktop.
