What is responsive web design?

Short Answer: Your site will look great no matter what kind of device it is viewed on (ie: smart phone, tablet, desktop computer).

Responsive web design is a way to code a website that will make sure the functionality and look of the site is consistent on all of your gadgets. Without using too much gibberish, the website is designed in sections rather than one big chunk, depending on the size of the browser or device you use to look at the website, these sections align so that you can see everything on the page and use all the functionality of the site.
