What is Responsive Web Design

Two people smile at their laptop while collaborating ideas.

The responsive web design concept allows a web designer to create a web page that will show on all mobile devices and browsers regardless of the monitor, screen size, or resolution. Put another way, a basic website is created that will work on desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. This technique creates web pages that are user-friendly. This is accomplished by writing particular source codes to create the web page.

The responsive web design technique eliminates the headache and expense of creating multiple web pages to respond to different devices. The key to the responsive system is addressing the user’s needs and the capabilities of the device that make the query for a web page.
John Polacek has created a web page that breaks down this web design system into its most basic reasoning and function. Here are a few highlights:
  • Responsive websites respond to their environment.
  • Small + medium + large. One site for every screen.
  • Stop thinking in pages. Start thinking in systems.

Older websites are especially vulnerable to irritating screen resizing because they are not optimized for mobile devices. A user on a mobile device will need to scroll, zoom and crunch the site to find the information he’s seeking. With a responsive web design, web pages dynamically adapt to the resolution of a device and correctly size themselves.

The responsive web design plays well with others on the high-tech playground. It will adapt to any size screen. It creates a customized user experience for every web surfer.

This web design must also account for web page videos, functionality and site structure. For these reasons, it’s wise to consult with a web page designer to be certain that a website is friendly with all mobile devices and browsers.
