What is responsive web design?
Responsive Web Design is the process of developing web pages that automatically adapt their content to various screen sizes and devices. Be it a smartphone visit or a computer monitor display the information, layout and user experience will automatically adapt to provide the best possible experience.
Responsive Design uses fluid grids which automatically resize layouts based on screen resolution.
Flexible images – Images that can be scaled with regards to the device and screen resolution.
Media Queries: CSS practices which address different styles based on device characteristics.
Mobile – First Design = Low – minimum screen size and higher as required.
What is User-Friendly Website Design?
