Responsive web design uses CSS media queries to render web content differently depending on screen size and device, allowing a single website to be accessed seamlessly across desktops, tablets, and mobile phones. While responsive design requires changes to development processes and poses new challenges, it can increase a website's accessibility and is important for serving the growing mobile audience, potentially improving profitability. Convincing clients of the value of responsive design may require explaining its benefits over separate mobile sites or apps.
