• Fluid grids - A fluid grid is designed in terms of proportions, so that when a layout is squeezed onto a tiny mobile device or stretched across a huge screen, all of the elements in the layout will resize their widths in relation to one another. Responsive web design is a scalable approach for the future and allows for quite a bit of creativity
