Responsive Design – What is it?

A responsive website responds to the device size and delivers the website content appropriately. Your website delivers the same content to all different devices, but it specifies how it should appear on different size devices.

A Mobile-first approach

Not only do we need to consider how our website will look on a mobile device, we need to consider how our users will use our website on a mobile device. The mobile-first approach considers mobile browsing first when designing a website.
