What is Responsive Design?

Definition

Responsive design is a web design approach that makes pages render well on all screen sizes — from phones to desktops. It uses CSS media queries, flexible grids, and fluid images to adapt layouts to the viewport width.

Why It Matters

Over 60% of web traffic comes from mobile devices. Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning the mobile version of your site determines search rankings. Responsive design is not optional — it is a requirement for modern web development.
