The document explores the differences between adaptive and responsive web design, outlining their unique approaches in creating user-friendly digital experiences. Adaptive design, introduced by Aaron Gustafson in 2011, utilizes fixed layout sizes, while responsive design, coined by Ethan Marcotte, dynamically adjusts based on device characteristics. Choosing the right approach involves evaluating factors such as content complexity, user needs, and project resources to balance user experience with development efficiency.

ADAPTIVE WEB DESIGN
UNDERSTANDING
ADAPTIVE WEB DESIGN
It was introduced by Aaron
Gustafson in2011.Unlike
responsive design, which
fluidly adjusts the layout
based on viewport size,
adaptive design involves
creating 6 fixed layout sizes
320px (Mobile Portrait),
480px (Mobile Landscape),
768px (Tablet), 1024px (Small
Desktop), 1280px (Medium
Desktop), 1440px (Large

Ethan Marcotte introduced
responsive design in the
early2010s,marking a
transformative period in web
development. This approach
emerged as a solution to the
growing diversity of device
sizes and resolutions,
advocating for websites that
dynamically adjust to the
user's environment.

6. Balancing User Experience and
Development Efficiency
Balancing User Experience and
Development Efficiency
The choice between Adaptive
and Responsive Web Design
often involves a trade-off
between user experience and
development efficiency.
Understanding this balance is
crucial for making an informed
decision.
