Responsive Design Fundamentals

# Responsive Design Fundamentals

Creating websites that work across all devices is no longer optional - it's essential. Here's what you need to know about responsive design.

Mobile-First Approach

Start with the mobile experience and enhance for larger screens. This ensures your core content and functionality work on the smallest devices.

Use CSS Grid and Flexbox to create layouts that adapt naturally to different screen sizes. Avoid fixed widths whenever possible.

Use breakpoints strategically. You don't need many - usually 2-3 well-chosen breakpoints are enough.

Test on real devices, not just browser dev tools. Real devices reveal issues that emulators can miss.

Responsive design is about more than just making things fit - it's about creating the best experience for each device.
