What is Responsive Web Design? Responsive design is a style of web design that responds to the user as they arrive at the web page. Rather than forcing a mobile user to see a desktop site, a laptop user with a small screen to scroll horizontally to see a wide-screen monitor site, or a wide-screen monitor to view a site as a mobile customer might like, instead the design looks at each of these scenarios and adapts to display the content most effectively. Web Pages Must Be Flexible and Adapt I've said it many times, the web is not print. And with more and more different types and sizes of devices coming online, the sooner you accept that your pages will look different, no they must look different depending upon what is displaying them, the happier you will be. The best web designs are the ones that make things easy.

Instead, people Google you – and quickly assess your talents based on your website, portfolio, and social media profiles. Do they resonate with what you’re sharing? Do they identify with your story? Are you even giving them a story to wrap their head around? one are the days of “Just the facts, M’am.” To help you with this, your bio should address the following 5 questions: Who am I?
