Responsive design is about creating a website that looks good on all device. It will automatically adjust for different screen sizes and viewpoints.

Setting the viewpoint

In order to create a responsive website, add the following code to all your web page

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

This will set up the viewport of your page. Which will give instructions to your browser on how to control the page’s dimensions and scaling.

Responsive images

These are images that scale nicely to fit any browser size. Using the width property If the CSS width property is scaled to 100%, the image will be responsive and scale up and down

<img src="google.jpg" style="width:100%;">

Responsive Text Size

The text size can be set with a "vw" unit, which means the viewport width". That way the text will follow the size of the browser window

<h1 style="font-size: 10vw"> Hello World</h1>

Hello World

Media Queries

In addition to resizing text and images, it is also common to use media queries in responsive web pages.

<style>
    .left, .right {
        Float:left;
        Width: 20%;
    }
    .main  {
        Float: left;
        Width:60%;
    }

    /* use a media query to add a breakpoint at 800px */
    @media screen and (max-width: 800px){
        .left,  .main,  .right {
            Width:100%; /* the width is 100%, when the viewport is 800px or smaller */
        }
    }
</style>
