Responsive Web Design statistics show monthly increases in usage from June to August 2012. Global internet and mobile app usage is also projected to more than double by 2015. Responsive Web Design (RWD) provides an optimal viewing experience across different devices by adjusting layout and resizing content. Common RWD approaches include separate mobile websites, mobile-optimized websites, and responsive layouts with fluid widths. Layout types can be adaptive with fixed widths, responsive with fluid widths, or mixed. Breakpoints help define resolution changes. Wireframes and mobile-first design are recommended. Typography, percentages, testing across devices and resolutions, and examples of responsive sites are also discussed.
