Responsive Design
Web design approach where layouts automatically adjust to fit different screen sizes and devices.
What is Responsive Design?
Responsive design uses flexible grids, images, and CSS media queries to create websites that work on any device—from smartphones to desktop monitors. Instead of building separate mobile and desktop sites, one site adapts to the viewer's screen. This is now standard practice and expected by users and search engines.
Example
A responsive navigation menu might display as a horizontal bar on desktop and collapse into a hamburger menu on mobile.
