What is responsive web design? Responsive web design is an approach to web design aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing and interaction experience. Why has responsive web design become so important? RWD has become important throughout the 2000's because of the invention of the handheld phone. With this device, without RWD it would be very difficult to see/read the actual site and how it was originally made. The media queries change depending on what device that you switch to. break points are when someone discovers a new way to display their responsive website.
Above is an example of a responsive website. This image shows how the site looks on a phone, laptop, iPad, and computer. On the computer the website expands farther across the bigger the screen is.
This photo shows a website that is on the phone. On this phone the website will be much longer and will take more time to scroll through.
On this tablet it shows how it equals all out and makes everything look normal and well finished.
