Web Design glossary

Responsive web design

An approach in which layout, content and controls adapt to the available screen and input method instead of serving one fixed desktop canvas.

Example

A service-card grid may use three columns on a laptop, two on a tablet and one on a phone while preserving the reading order.

Why it matters

Customers use many screen sizes. A responsive page should remain readable, operable and purposeful without zooming or horizontal scrolling.
