Responsive Design

A design approach where layout adapts to different screen sizes.

Responsive web design is an approach where a website's layout, images, and content adapt fluidly to different screen sizes and orientations — desktop, tablet, and mobile. A responsive site uses flexible grids, fluid images, and CSS media queries to provide an optimal viewing experience on every device. With over 60% of web traffic coming from mobile devices, responsive design is a baseline requirement, not an optional feature.
