FLUID GRIDS

Responsive design incorporates a flexible grid system that adjusts to different screen dimensions by using CSS with percentages rather than fixed layouts. This approach guarantees that text sizes, widths, and margins adapt smoothly across various devices.


MEDIA QUERIES

Media queries, or breakpoints, adjust styles according to the device, enabling webpages to fit different screen sizes. This can be observed by changing the size of your browser window, as breakpoints control various dimensions and orientations.


FLEXIBLE IMAGES AND MEDIA

To make images and media adaptable to various devices, set their maximum width to 100% for resizing. Additionally, using the overflow property can help crop images to fit more appropriately within their containers.
