Responsive Design

What is responsive design?

Responsive design is a web‑development approach that enables layout and elements to adapt fluidly to different screen sizes and orientations, ensuring optimal user experience across devices.

Key points

  • Tech: CSS media queries, flexible grids, scalable images.
  • SEO: Google recommends responsiveness; avoids mobile‑duplicate issues.
  • Performance: Adaptive images prevent unnecessary data load.
  • Accessibility: Maintains readable font sizes and tap targets.
  • Testing: Use Chrome DevTools device emulation and Lighthouse audits.

Pro tips

  • Design mobile‑first, then expand to desktop.
  • Implement lazy‑loading for below‑fold images.
  • Minify CSS & JS to offset extra breakpoints.
