What is Responsive Design?

A web design approach that makes web pages render well on all screen sizes using flexible layouts and media queries.

Responsive design ensures websites look good on desktops, tablets, and phones. Key techniques include fluid grids (percentage-based widths), flexible images (max-width: 100%), and CSS media queries (@media (max-width: 768px)).

The mobile-first approach designs for small screens first, then enhances for larger ones. CSS Flexbox and Grid make responsive layouts easier. Google prioritizes mobile-friendly sites in search rankings.
