Understanding Responsive Web Design

Introduction:
Responsive web design is essential for creating websites and applications that look great and work well on all devices—whether it’s a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or large desktop monitor. This article explains the core principles behind responsive design and why it matters.

Key Concepts:

• Fluid Grids:
  Instead of fixed-width layouts, fluid grids use relative units (%, em, rem) to make content resize dynamically.
• Flexible Images and Media:
  Images and videos scale within their containers to prevent overflow or distortion on smaller screens.
• Media Queries:
  CSS media queries detect screen size and apply different styling rules, allowing layouts to adapt responsively.

Why It Matters:
Responsive design improves usability, boosts SEO rankings, and provides a better overall user experience.
