When creating a website, it’s important to make sure it looks good and works well on all devices. This is where responsive and adaptive design come into play. Both are methods to design websites for different screen sizes, but they work differently.
Responsive Design
Responsive design adjusts automatically based on the size of the screen. The layout, images, and text resize fluidly, so the website looks great on desktops, tablets, and smartphones without needing separate designs for each.
For example, if you’re viewing Social Media Max on your phone, the design will automatically resize and rearrange elements for a better experience.

Adaptive Design
Adaptive design, on the other hand, uses fixed layouts. The website detects the device type and loads a pre-designed layout for that specific screen size. This method requires creating multiple versions of a website for different devices.
Which is Better?
Responsive design is often preferred because it’s more flexible and easier to maintain. However, adaptive design can be useful when you need a highly customized experience for different devices.
