Responsive Web Design vs. Mobile Apps
It’s important to note that we’re not talking about responsive web design here.

Responsive web design is an approach wherein your website is coded and designed to “respond” by rearranging and re-sizing itself depending on the type of device on which it’s being viewed. Responsive design makes your website look and operate better (think “user-friendly”) on mobile devices.
