An interesting article . . . . . http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/pages/head-to-head-web-design-responsive-vs-adaptive.aspx?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter
When designing and building a website today, it’s essential for enterprises to think about how users will access their website – will it be from desktops, smartphones, tablets (or all three)?
What’s not as clear to many, however, is the best way to achieve this state of cross-device compatibility. Two of the hottest approaches to implementing multi-screen websites are responsive Web design (RWD) and adaptive Web design (AWD), but there is a lot of confusion about the two. While some consider RWD and AWD to be competing, they are, in fact, complementary.

Thanks for your post. In today’s world responsive website is of really great use. I would like to share a website https://www.pixiemedia.co.uk/ there one can know more about responsive web design.
I have found new article about the same topic – https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/responsive-web-design-vs-adaptive-web-design-how-to-make-your-choice
It describes the difference between responsive and adaptive web design. And how to make your choice? Very interesting to read. It had explained that
Responsive websites are a good idea if:
- You are limited in time and financial resources.
- You have a simple clean design and functionality without the necessity to adopt it to various needs.
- You aim to increase the speed and ease of maintenance and the update process of your website.
Adaptive websites will be a great choice if:
- You are absolutely sure that you need an audience with a wide spectrum of devices.
- You have both time and financial resources to create and maintain several variants of your product.
