1.2: Responsive Design: Understanding the Term<br />

Responsive design does not target particular resolutions or screen sizes; rather, the aim is to design for<br />

multiple screens in such a manner that content responds to the target environment and reflows to fit into<br />

different layouts and treatments on the basis of the display size and type.<br />

Simply put, a smartphone screen has<br />

less space than a PC screen, so you<br />

cannot fit everything onto it - at least not<br />

in exactly the same way. Besides, people<br />

<strong>us</strong>ing mobile devices may be on the<br />

move and are likely to experience<br />

connectivity issues. This can lead to a<br />

lag in downloading content. A<br />

<strong>responsive</strong> design framework considers<br />

all these issues and ensures a graceful<br />

alignment of onscreen content and<br />

layout elements depending on the target<br />

device.
