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.
