Building websites that jive on mobile devices and scale to browser size is becoming more and more important. As a web developer and designer, you strive to ensure the website experience is generally equal on all platforms. Or, that’s at least where we seem to be headed.
This is where responsive layouts come in handy. Not only is your webpage ready to be viewed on a giant 27-inch iMac, but it looks good on a netbook, too. Do you need a mobile app? Nope! Your responsive web design renders just fine on a smartphone and tablet, too.

Very cool.
