What exactly is responsive Web Design?

Responsive web design consists of a flexible web layout and design which fits any type of smart device. This is a technique that enables websites to change their layout and content based on the device’s dimension.  Suppose you are a Blog owner and you have your own Blog. Now you are visiting your site through iPhone 5 or any Samsung device whose screen size is 5.2”. In this case, your blog’s template and theme will resize automatically according to the device screen resolution and size. If your template or theme is capable to adopt any dimension then your site is responsive. 

But this is not possible to buy all types of devices and check the website to see if is it responsive or not? The solution is to use online responsive web design testing tools. This will help to see a web design on various devices at a time.

However, if you are a web designer then you need to use responsive web design testing tools frequently to give a perfect responsive shape to your web design. But how is this possible that a web design automatically responds to all kinds of devices?
