o, what’s a responsive web design?
Responsive web design refers to a site capable of reshaping itself depending on various screen sizes and resolutions, from largest on the computer to smallest on mobile device. This approach was first introduced by brilliant Ethan Marcotte in his article, on a List Apart. Compared to other techniques responsive web design uses CSS media queries and multiple cascading style sheets to change the layout of the website accordingly. Moreover, you can have different displays and layouts depending on the device orientation such as a tablet switching screen modes from landscape to portrait at user’s whim. This method of web design is meant to give the user the best experience with content visual display on the device or platform that they are viewing it on.
