What Responsive Design Means
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.

More and more, responsive web design represents a shift in how websites will be built as the number of different devices increase. Within the next few years, as users increasingly access the internet through their mobile devices, it becomes paramount that websites are displayed accordingly on the different devices.
Responsive Web design is not only about adjustable screen sizes and automatic image resizing, but rather about a whole new way of thinking about design.
