Overview
RWD ensures that a website provides an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices, from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones.
Key Techniques
- Fluid Grids: Using relative units like percentages instead of fixed units like pixels for layout.
- Flexible Images: Ensuring images scale within their containing elements.
- Media Queries: Applying different styles based on the device's characteristics, such as width, height, or orientation.
Importance
With the proliferation of mobile devices, RWD is essential for reaching a broad audience and providing a consistent user experience.
