If you want to see how proper, responsive templates are built, then go examine those from picaflor azul.

I would advise all my customers to AVOID going near a template that uses archaic methods to render HTML.
Some interesting comments you made. I would not recommend picaflor azul templates as an example of good coding. I was also unaware that Google is now trying to be the Code Police and enforce their version of code review on people.

As to the comments "Hard-coding HTML tags" & "Hard coded conventional HTML", what is conventional HTML and if not hard coded, how does one insert HTML code? After all, HTML is Document Structure and without there is no web page.
