Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately you’ve heard of responsive design, it’s the new ‘thing’ amongst web design. But in case you are unaware of what it is I’ll give you a brief explanation: Responsive design is a technique used to scale websites to pre-determined layouts based upon the device used to view the site.
