Question 1

What is a breakpoint in responsive Web design?

Answer 1

A “point” at which a website’s content and design will adapt in a certain way in order to provide the best possible user experience.

Question 2

What is the advantage of using a percentage (e.g. 50%) width instead of a fixed (e.g. px) width for a “column” class in a responsive layout?

Answer 2

It makes it easier for the page to adapt to different sized screens

Question 3

If you introduce CSS rules for a smaller min-width after the styles for a larger min-width in your style sheet, the CSS rules for the smaller min-width will “win”. Why is that?

Answer 3

The source order!
