Responsive Web Designs (RWD) vs Adaptive Web Design (AWD)

August 8, 2013 By

Why you need to understand the different between Responsive Web Design vs Adaptive Web Design?

30% to 50% of your website’s traffic now comes from mobile devices. Taking a One Web approach ensures that not only does your site work on the smartphones and tablets of today, but it can be future-proofed for the unimagined screens of tomorrow.

Three popular approaches to developing a One Web site:

  • using a responsive design
  • client-side adaptive designs
  • server-side adaptive designs.

One is not better or worse than the other; each has its own strengths and weaknesses and the wise web developer will consider the benefits and drawbacks of each before picking the one that works for their next project.
