Introduction

Hello programmers, we are all familiar with the basics of HTML5 and CSS3 but when we make a web page using only HTML and CSS (without media query) then the site is not responsive.

What is a responsive web page? A responsive web page means the user interface or front end of the web page looks the same, whether we use a computer system, a tablet or a mobile device.

Code without CSS media query

<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
background: #000;
color: #0F0;
}
header {
text-align: center;
}
img {
border: 7px solid #999;
}
h1 {
font-size: 40px;
}
ul {
background: rgba(255,8,200,0.5);
padding: 10px;
}
li {
display: inline;
padding: 10px;
margin: 10px;
font-size: 18px;
}
a {
color: #0FF;
}
article {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
max-width: 500px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<img src="CSCLogo.png" width="200"><br>
<h2>Founder :-</h2>

Output on the computer system

Now If we get the output in a mobile device then:

Here in the mobile device, the content is not in the right position.

Now we use media query of CSS

<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
background: #000;
color: #0F0;
}
header {
text-align: center;
}
img {
border: 7px solid #999;
}
h1 {
font-size: 40px;
}
ul {
background: rgba(255,8,200,0.5);
padding: 10px;
}
li {
display: inline;
padding: 10px;
margin: 10px;
font-size: 18px;
}
a {
color: #0FF;
}
article {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
max-width: 500px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
@media(max-width:500px) {
h1 {
font-size: 18px;
padding: 5px;
}
li {
display: block;
padding: 5px;
}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<img src="CSCLogo.png" width="200"><br>
<h2>Founder :-</h2>

<ul>
<li><a href="#">About Me</a></li>
