I created my own sub-theme and everything seems to be fine.. sort of. All of the top navigation landing pages are created with Panels so we can display XX amount of Node blocks in a specific order for each of these pages. The trouble is Panels isn't responsive. Argh!!

Spent much time looking around: AdaptiveTheme keeps popping up, but that looks like I'd have to redo the entire site with one of their themes. Then I looked into creating a custom Panel, but again it looks like if I create a custom panel layout it would have to be used throughout the entire site. Unless I'm wrong?? Display Suite is an option? I don't know enough about it to understand whether I can create one page and drop in XX amount of Node Blocks for display.

So...does a simple solution exists where I can modify these landing pages without touching the rest of the site?

Cheers.

It can be responsive. Really it's a matter of CSS and planning your media queries. https://www.drupal.org/project/breakpoint_panels may give you some help.

I dislike Panels but this might help you: http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/146268/i-need-a-way-to-automat...

Personally, i would use Bootstrap theme but since you already built out your site with Panels, try using the Bootstrap Panel modules. https://www.drupal.org/project/panels_bootstrap_layouts

If you use Adaptivetheme you are right, you'd have to build a new theme because the responsive panels layouts are in the core theme, not a seperate module.

I'd suggest taking a look at Radix layouts, they're responsive out of the box: https://www.drupal.org/project/radix_layouts

With regards to creating a custom panel layout plugin - no, you would not have to use it everywhere, you'd select it just like any other layout when you create a variant.

DS is a good option for laying out fields in nodes and forms (and blocks in D8), it compliments Panels.

Pimp your Drupal 8 Toolbar - make it badass.
Adaptivetheme - theming system for people who don't code.

Thank you for this!! Now I don't feel so overwhelmed. I'll post my solution once I'm done testing which worked best for our needs.

Cheers.

The winner was the Radix Layout module. Since we only have a few pages set in panel layout, radix layouts integrated beautifully with what we already had.

Again, thanks for the suggestions.
