What is Responsive Web Design?
The way design and development responds to the user’s behavior and environment based on the screen size, platform and orientation.
The design should be able to resize to fit all the contents on that page based on the size. If the phone orientates, the design should be able to do that too.
Being responsive has to do with the mix of flexible grids, layout, images and the use of CSS media queries.
How does the Responsive Web Design Work?
It works through the use of CSS ( Cascading Style Sheet). The settings will help you to handle the different style of properties according to your screen size, orientation, resolution, colour capability and other characteristics based on the user’d device.
