The concept of Responsive Web Design (RWD for short) was originally put forward by Ethan Marcotte in one article published on A List Apart. Its core idea is: The design and development of web page layout should response and adjust accordingly based on the user behavior and device environment (such as system platform, screen size, screen orientation, etc.).
The specific implementation approaches of Responsive Web Design mainly include 3 aspects: Flexible Grid, Fluid Images and Media Queries. In this way, no matter one user is using a computer or mobile phone, our pages will show themselves to their best state. In other words, the pages are capable of responding to users' all kinds of possible usage environments automatically.
