As the worlds of desktop and mobile content continue to overlap, a new kind of website has emerged: responsive web design, a dynamic that automatically transforms a site’s layout depending on your screen size or device.
A new online service hopes to take this trend to the next level by allowing anyone to easily modify favorite online destinations into elaborately customized websites.

Israel-based web platform Tomodo lets you create a new layout for any existing site without affecting the target site. For instance, if you wanted to visualize Apple’s site if the company took the rumored gold iPhone aesthetic into overdrive, you could simply visit a unique URL hosted on Tomodo’s servers and enjoy a fully functional, blinged-out Apple website.
Or perhaps you want to experience TIME's website using a Flipboard approach. You can view a modded site for that, too. Nearly any website can be modified to an individual’s taste using Tomodo’s real-time proxy dynamic -- free of charge.
Tomodo provides a simple piece of code that allows a website to opt out if it's not interested in others hacking its carefully crafted design experience.
Of course, a basic knowledge of web development protocols is required for those looking to modify websites using Tomodo, but it's a small price to pay for the ability to turn eBay into your own Bitcoin-friendly shopping mall.
