When a layout works across all devices and screen sizes, it is known as having a responsive layout. Responsive design is the practice of building layouts so that the design and accessibility remain intentional on any device.
Tip: To create a responsive layout automatically, try out the Builder's Canvas Mode for Responsive Design, which uses AI and the click of a button to make your layout responsive.
The following video shows a Builder page at different sizes. When building responsively, each screen width maintains its integrity and usability.
Creating layouts in Builder gives you a way to build with no code, and Builder generates the code as you work. Whether you build a layout entirely by hand coding or with a drag-and-drop editor, browsers ultimately calculate layout with one set of rules. Because of this, a basic understanding of how browsers interpret what you build can help you create layouts more efficiently and successfully.
The following articles show you how to plan, create, and adjust layouts with responsiveness in mind.
