Responsive design is the approach that makes web design look good on all devices, from mobile phones to desktop computers.
Key Principles
- Fluid Grids: Using percentage-based widths instead of fixed-width layouts.
- Flexible Images: Images that scale with the width of the screen.
- Media Queries: CSS technique to apply different styles based on the screen size.
Common Challenges
- Performance: Ensuring the website loads quickly on all devices.
- Navigation: Designing a user-friendly navigation system for touch devices.
Example of Media Query
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.container {
width: 100%;
}
}
