"Responsive design refers to the process of creating web content that is formatted according to the device you are using to browse the site. It uses media queries to address breakpoints and scale images, wrap text, and adjusts the layout so that the website is presented consistently across different devices. Compatible devices include computers, tablets, and mobile phones. Response designs utilize the fluid website design process.
