Responsive Design
Definition: Web design approach that creates sites adapting to different screen sizes and devices.
Understanding Responsive Design
Responsive web design is an approach that makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window sizes. Rather than creating separate sites for desktop and mobile, responsive design uses flexible grids, flexible images, and CSS media queries to adapt layouts. This ensures a good user experience regardless of device, improves SEO (Google favors mobile-friendly sites), and simplifies maintenance by having a single codebase.
