Are your web layouts breaking on mobile or tablets?
It’s time to learn CSS Media Queries — the secret to building responsive, mobile-first websites.

Media queries allow your design to adapt to different screen sizes, orientations, and device capabilities without relying on JavaScript.

📱 In this tutorial, you’ll learn:
✅ Understanding why responsive design is important
✅ How to apply styles conditionally based on screen width
✅ Common breakpoints for mobile, tablet, and desktop

Why Media Queries Matter:
With most users browsing on phones, responsive design is no longer optional. Media queries are essential for accessibility, SEO, and user experience.

Quick Example:

@mesdia (max-width: 768px) {
  .container {
    flex-direction: column;
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This rule changes a flex layout to a stacked column layout on screens 768px wide or smaller.
