In "What we mean when we say 'responsive'", Lyza Danger Gardner mentioned that Ethan Marcotte, a graphic designer, defined "Responsive Web Design is constrained to the three specific techniques for making sites that adapt well across many browser environments: fluid layouts, flexible images (and media objects), and media queries. One, two, three." It suggests that when people view browsers from different devices, websites' layout, images, and text sizes change because of media queries, which helps users to view the site's content with a suitable ratio. When designers and developers say that they want to create a responsive website, what they meant is to create a website layout that will change when it comes to people use any kind of digital device, such as iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and other technology products.
Today, more and more designers and developers are aware of considering a responsive web design as a part of web design. Their mission is to provide well-organized and easy to read content layout for the viewers. Especially visual design artists, like UI designers, occupy an essential position in responsive web design. To accomplish this, they need to do research, and view contents from different technological products and any new technological invent items; to create users friendly environment. And it can be any platform like an online community, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so on. In order to attract new and keep the old users, designers choose the easiest and simplest ways for people to view the browsers. They carefully and structurally design the layout of the devices, so that the users won’t get confused, and they get used to using the software by interacting with them on a daily basis.
The browsers' design should not be complex; they allow the audience to get the most useful and essential contents and concepts as quickly as possible. What’s more, they help users engage, and understand different devices clearly.
