Building a responsive website is crucial these days as most of the internet users visit websites from a mobile device. Using HTML and CSS to make your website is so simple but at the same time difficult. Most of the developers use CSS libraries or frameworks to avoid coding CSS to make the website to be responsive like Bootstrap or Tailwind according to the project requirements. If you stick with just HTML CSS the Bootstrap is recommended. you can use the bootstrap classes in your html to make your website responsive without having to write separate CSS for your website. but for some reason if you don't want to use bootstrap you can go with the CSS and make your website responsive using media queries.

@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {

    body {

        background-color: #030303;

    }

in the media query you can write separate CSS that will applied to all the screen sizes that are less than the specified pixel sizes. you can use multiple media queries in your CSS file for multiple screen-sizes. 
For most of the structure based elements like showing grid of cards or displaying elements side by side or the overall structure don't reply on the media queries but it is recommended to use the CSS grids or flex boxes because changing the overall structures can sometimes be glitchy and may cause issues if the css file is heavy and take time to fully load.

 

Despite the responsiveness is an important this for a website but the loading time of a website matters as much as the responsiveness of the website does. so keep your code clean and avoiding writing excessive code for doing simple tasks. use built-in features to achieve the basic tasks.

Hello, that's a simple yet thought-provoking question.

Building a responsive website with HTML and CSS ensures your site adapts to various screen sizes, offering a seamless user experience across devices. Start by adopting a mobile-first strategy, where you design for smaller screens first and enhance the layout for larger screens using CSS media queries.

In your HTML, prioritize semantic elements like <header>, <main>, <section>, and <footer> to create a clean and accessible structure. Use flexible units like percentages, em, or rem for widths and font sizes instead of rigid pixel values. Make sure images adjust naturally by setting max-width: 100% and height: auto.

CSS media queries are the backbone of responsive design. They allow you to apply different styles based on the screen size. For instance:

CSS

@media (min-width: 768px)
{
.container
{ display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; }
}

Take advantage of modern CSS tools such as flexbox and grid to create dynamic and adaptable layouts. Alternatively, you can simplify your work by leveraging frameworks like Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS, which offer pre-built responsive utilities.

By following these practices, you can create a responsive website that provides a consistent and user-friendly experience across all devices. With a strong foundation in HTML and CSS, combined with modern tools and thorough testing, you’ll be well-equipped to deliver a design that adapts seamlessly to any screen size.

Use a flexible grid layout with percentage-based widths, and add media queries to adjust styles for different screen sizes. Ensure images and videos are responsive with the max-width: 100% property and use responsive frameworks like Bootstrap for faster development.

hi how are you?

that's very good question for bigners, you can use media quries for responsivenes 

but that's very time consuming process you have to learn only grid system of the boostrap and you will get the magic in your hands really just spend one hour on the bootstrap grid system and you will be expert in the responsivness..

because bootstrap created CSS classes for all devices using media quiries. like

col-xl for extra large screen (laptop or LCDS)

col-lg for large screens (laptops)

col-md for medium screens (ipads)

col-sm for small devices (tablets)

col- for extra small devices (mobile)
