You’ve probably had some clients by now asking you to create a site that shows perfectly on a desktop as well as on smartphones and tablets. So this is where Ethan Marcotte came up with a clever solution  called responsive web design. Instead of creating several different site versions for each device, just build a single website that adapts to each device. But how is that possible exactly?

With the help of responsive web design, web designers can create sites that have the ability to detect the device someone is using to access a site and react accordingly providing him with a better navigation and readability. To be more specific, responsive web design refers to the use of grid and layout systems, optimized images and CSS media queries.

So, if you’re already noticing an increasing number of visitors using mobile devices to access your site, it’s important you embrace it and react with no delay. To help you in your quest, here’s a collection of 30 websites following the principles of responsive web design.
