You may not be a web designer, but if your bread and butter is offering services to your audience through a website, \u201cresponsive\u201d versus \u201cstatic\u201d design are two terms you need to know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Static versus responsive design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A fixed or static<\/strong> width layout is designed for a specific predetermined width and does not change, no matter the display aspect ratio or the screen size that the viewer has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive design<\/strong>, on the other hand, is a web design technique that allows the content to adjust to various screen and window sizes on a number of devices. With responsive design, you can make sure your website looks its best on cell phones, tablets, laptops, and desktop screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
