Why Responsive Web Design?
Super Flexible screen resolutions and all devices.
1•Fluid Layout resize with the browser window because width, margin and padding elements (even fonts and images) are specified with proportional values like percentages and ems.•As the resolution changes, the layout adjusts proportionally. And all without a single media query.
2•Fortunately, Ethan offered a formula for implementing fluid grids that looked simple enough (even for me):•target ÷ context = result
3•This formula takes the pixel-based width of an element on a page (the target) and divides it by the pixel-based width of its parent element (the context). The result becomes the proportional width for the target element.

Google Recommended It
Google recommends that “webmasters follow the industry best practice of using web design, namely serving the same HTML for all devices, using media queries to decide rendering on each device.”
Google recommends the use of media queries, which form part of
the backbone of RWD. Media queries allow websites to adapt to
any screen size.

Simplicity, as a design strategy is in.
Minimalism, as a design

Complex, skeuomorphic design NOT in
Flexible image placement allows you to flex your creative

RWD IS KING
To Optimize for mobile using any of the three design styles ; however, if your aim is to
minimize hassle, extra work, and frustration, then RWD is
probably the right choice for you.

than the creation of a dynamic serving URL or a separate mobile
website, RWD often proves far less work and trouble in the long run.
You’re looking to streamline your administrative process
and optimize seamlessly across all devices, then RWD is your best bet.

Flexible Grids
Layouts and text sizes are typically expressed in pixels.
Designers love pixels. Photoshop loves pixels. But
a pixel can be one dot on one device and eight dots on
another. So how do you approach responsive Web
design if everything is pixel-based? You might not like
the answer: You stop using pixel-based layouts and
start using percentages or the em for sizing.
The Term “grid” is used rather freely and doesn’t imply a requirement to implement any of the
available grid frameworks.
By basing text sizes, widths and margins on percentages or on the em, a unit of measurement based on a font’s point size, you can turn a fixed size into a relative size. This means you’ll need to do a little math to achieve a flexible grid and text size system. • But the formula for
calculating the em is very simple:
• target ÷ context = result

Flexible Images and Media
To scale and crop images in CSS might not be enough.
Do you really need to take up all of a visitor’s mobile bandwidth because you don’t have a smaller version of an image?
To better serve users, flexible images might mean using an alternative image — or even no image at all.
Legacy Browsers
What about older browsers that don’t support media queries?
What about Internet Explorer before version 8, which has issues with scaling images?
Solutions in the form of polyfills can help. Here are some useful examples.
