Responsive vs Adaptive Web Design

ResponsiveAdaptive
Responsive Web Design (RWD) is the approach that suggests that design and development should respond to the user’s behavior and environment based on screen size, platform, and orientation.Adaptive web design (AWD) is a tailored approach to creating online experiences. It’s a method that crafts fixed layouts that cater to specific device types, creating a highly optimized and device-specific user experience.
Responsive design, refers to the fluid approach of crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience — easy reading and navigation with minimal resizing, panning, and scrolling — across a wide range of devices.Adaptive design, on the other hand, is a strategy that serves different devices with distinct layouts, using a detection method to deliver the appropriate version.

Responsive example CSS :

body { 
  font: 600 14px/24px "Open Sans", "HelveticaNeue-Light", "Helvetica Neue Light", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", Sans-Serif; 
  } 
h1 { 
  color: #9799a7; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px; } 
.container:before, .container:after { content: ""; display: table; } 
.container:after { clear: both; } 
.container { background: #eaeaed; margin-bottom: 24px; *zoom: 1; } 
.container-75 { width: 75%; } 
.container-50 { margin-bottom: 0; width: 50%; } 
.container, section, aside { border-radius: 6px; } section, aside { background: #2db34a; color: #fff; margin: 1.858736059%; padding: 20px 0; text-align: center; } section { float: left; width: 63.197026%; } aside { float: right; width: 29.3680297%; }

Adaptive example CSS :

body {
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {
  body {
    background-color: #f0f0f0;
  }

  .container {
    padding: 20px;
    font-size: 18px;
  }
}
@media (max-width: 767px) {
  body {
    background-color: #e0e0e0;
  }

  .container {
    padding: 10px;
    font-size: 16px;
  }
}
