What is Responsive Web Design
With responsive web design, a range of devices and window or screen sizes are guaranteed to display online pages correctly. This is accomplished by CSS media queries, flexible layouts and grids, and website content adaptation according to screen size, orientation, and resolution of the device. Whether viewed on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, responsive web design seeks to deliver the best possible viewing experience together with readability and navigation. By addressing user experience and accessibility across devices, responsive web design helps websites reach a wider audience and assures consistency and usability across different platforms.
