What is a responsive website?
In the field of Web design and development, we’re quickly getting to
the point of being unable to keep up with the endless new resolutions
and devices. For many websites, creating a website version for each
resolution and new device would be impossible, or at least impractical.
What is Responsive Web design?
Responsive Web design is the approach that suggests that design and development should respond to the user’s behavior and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation.
The
practice consists of a mix of flexible grids and layouts, images and an
intelligent use of CSS media queries. As the user switches from their
laptop to iPad, the website should automatically switch to accommodate
for resolution, image size and scripting abilities. In other words, the
website should have the technology to automatically respond to the
user’s preferences. This would eliminate the need for a different design
and development phase for each new gadget on the market.
