Responsive design makes the same page render well across many screen sizes, from phone to large display, using one set of files. The core idea goes back to Ethan Marcotte (2010) and rests on a flexible grid, images that fit their container, and media queries. The first step is always the viewport meta tag in the page head, which ties the layout width to the device's real width.
The practical approach is "mobile first": write a simple style for the smallest screen, then add enhancements as the width grows. Breakpoints are best chosen by content, not by a specific device name; when a line of text becomes too long or a section too cramped, that is where you change the layout. Tools like Flexbox and Grid make the layout fluid before any media query is needed.
For usability, buttons should be large enough to tap (around 44 pixels tall) and text readable without zooming. In FastFree interfaces we use RTL and the Cairo font for Arabic users on both phone and desktop.
Testing the site at several widths is far cheaper than maintaining two separate site versions.
