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
