Responsive Web
Design
Responsive Web Design (RWD) is an approach that ensures web pages
render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes. It involves
using flexible grids, layouts, and images, along with CSS media queries to
adapt the design to different viewing environments. This method enhances
user experience by providing a seamless interface across devices, from
desktops to smartphones.
