Wordpress Users:Responsive Design
Mobile devices will become the most popular way to access the internet, which is why responsive WordPress themes are in high-demand.
Responsive designs share common elements:• Content is the same no matter the device’s screen
size (WordPress posts and pages)• Style, coloring, branding, etc. are the same or
substantially similar across devices (logos, images, color palettes)
• Layout adapts to the screen’s size, with optionally specified minimum and/or maximum widths
