A Responsive Website is a website that adjust it's screen elements (ie, layout apperance) according to the screen size of the device on which the visitor tries to open the site. It can be any kind of website Static Website or Dynamic Website or any of its categories.
Long time back there used to be only desktop monitors used as visual display units of computers. As time passed and technologies developed there came many different types of devices that people now use for their computer work. Initially these were PCs (personal computers) in the form of desktop computers then came laptops then tablet pcs and then mobiles and smartphone that took the IT industry by strom. Along with new hardwares for these new smartphones and mobile devices, new software technologies also developed and all of the software industry also started developeing softwares and websites that started getting more and more optimised for the new generation devices, with the innovation and development of new web technologies.
In order for a website to look attractive and work effectively for visitors on mobile devices are two ways to develop them:
First is to develop the website keeping any particular device / mobile device in mind. In this way we can develop websites that are maximum compatible in terms of look-n-feel and usability ie. with a perfect UI for any particular mobile device with an unhindered and smooth user experience. These types of website are termed as Mobile Websites. These are generally referred with different name like m.mywebsite.com, but this nomenclature is just a convention. It can be any valid domain name.
Although it is highly optimised for mobile devices, particularly smartphones for which these are developed, there is a big disadvantage attached to this style of website development. And that is in this case with every different and new devices in the market that a user can poccess, we need to have a version of the website optimised for it. It will we extremely difficult to develop and maintain a website version for each of them. Here comes into place another style of website development called Responsive Websites.
Second is what is mentioned above is Responsive Websites. In this style of website development we do not actually develop separate websites for different devices or access them with separate name. Instead there is mostly one monolithic code having options to render differently on different devices with different screen sizes, different screen resolutions, different orientation, different color-depths and even embed special codes for touch screen devices. This is difficult but is acheived with the help of technologies like CSS, Javascript, frameworks like Bootstrap and many more of them.
Responsive websites when accessed from any particular device - desktop, laptop, table or mobile/smartphone filters the website code to that can be best displayed in that particular device. In this way we can also change - the layout of website for different devices, the colors, fonts, images anything we would prefer to for any particular device specifications. Though this can be done with a very high precision but it is generally done by creating some guidelines for code (technically called media queries) for a range of devices (sizes).
