Responsive Web design is a website design technique employed by leading Web design and development firms that allows a website to function effectively on all browsers and on all screen sizes, including mobile devices and tablets, saving website owners and IT Managers a fortune in their costs of Web design and development.

According to MSDN Magazine's Katrian De Graeve, the move to responsive design started with an article by Ethan Marcotte of "A List Apart", appropriately entitled Responsive Web Design. Essentially, the article proposed addressing the ever-changing landscape of devices, browsers, screen sizes and orientations by creating flexible, fluid and adaptive Web sites.
"Instead of responding to today’s needs for a desktop Web version adapted to the most common screen resolution, along with a particular mobile version (often specific to a single mobile device), the idea is to approach the issue the other way around: use flexible and fluid layouts that adapt to almost any screen."
Technical features at the heart of responsive Web design include a flexible grid-based layout that uses relative sizing and flexible images and media, through dynamic resizing or CSS.
The amazing thing about responsive Web design is the beautiful way that it performs. Here are some examples of responsive websites Louisville Web Company has developed. Look at them first on your desktop device. Then look at the same website on your tablet or smart phone.
