Understanding the difference methods of responsive, adaptive, and fluid design.
Responsive : using css, html to shrink, hide, enlarge, wrap content/text, alter images to be viewed on any platform. This is mode through media queries that determine the width or height of the devicel; also uses relative units to determine placement and sizing of elements on the UI screen.
Adaptive : this approach uses static layouts to render the correct view for the correct device. For example, some common breakpoints would be: 320, 480, 760, 960, 1200, 1600; these would load the corresponding page for the device.
** Fluid **: this approach takes the percentage of each of the elements displayed and adjusts it accordingly to the screen.
