Additionally, with responsive web design and web development frameworks, your design process becomes automatically easier and implementing a variety of front-end features are also made easy by these frameworks.
But before we discuss the types of responsive web design frameworks, let us take a look at frameworks.
A framework is a comprehensive set of practices, categories, and concepts that revolve around a specific problem. The solution that evolves out of the afore-mentioned strategies can be later used as a reference for a similar problem that might arise in future.
Precisely, a framework comprises file and folder structures, which include standardized code that can be implemented for developing a site from scratch. Another concern these frameworks will help to overcome is that you can now use a common structure for building websites. This means we need not start again from scratch as we can reuse the code anytime. Here we are saving time and effort.
Responsive frameworks collate CSS and HTML 5 tags. This collaboration is what helps in creating exceptional website designs. Here we will list out some of the most preferred and popular web design frameworks.
