Responsive web design aims to display a website correctly across all devices including mobiles, tablets, laptops and desktop computers. Designs that have been optimised correctly will look good on any resolution, browser and device.

This is achieved in a number of ways including using percentages for widths instead of a defined number of pixels. Another useful trick is CSS3 media queries that define how your website is styled differently when it is viewed on particular devices. For example, the width of your page will automatically be adjusted when viewed on a mobile phone.
