Responsive Design

A design approach that ensures websites look good on all devices and screen sizes, adjusting layouts and elements accordingly. But looks aren't the only concern. Different devices behave differently with elements. For instance, the hover animations won't behave the same way on a mobile phone because there is no cursor to hover with. Touch devices provide gestures, like pinching and zooming. You may see similar issues with inputs and forms. True responsive design will ensure that this behavior adapts across devices in a way that still works properly.
