Responsive design is a style in which the layout responds of your webpage adjusts based on the device that it is being rendered on. So, depending on what device you are viewing a website, whether it’s on a desktop, a smart phone or a tablet, the layout will adjust based on the width of the browser. You will have different views, text, navigation and images are reflowed and or minimized.
The use of responsive design is ideal for businesses who do not want to create a different version of their website for different devices. More and more, responsive web design represents a shift in how websites will be built as the number of different devices increase.
