Responsive design is an approach to web design that makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes. It uses flexible layouts, flexible images, and CSS media queries to adapt the layout to the viewing environment. Key principles include fluid grids that use relative units, flexible images that scale, and media queries that apply different styles based on screen characteristics. Responsive design ensures optimal user experience across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices without requiring separate mobile sites.
