Using Bootstrap

Another way to create responsive design is to use ready-made CSS frameworks.

Bootstrap is the most popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework for developing responsive web.

Bootstrap helps you develop sites that look great on any size: desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <link rel="stylesheet" 
  href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="jumbotron">
  <h1>CodeW3C.com Demo</h1> 
  <p>Resize this responsive page!</p> 
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-4">
    <h2>London</h2>
    <p>London is the capital city of England.</p>
    <p>It is the most populous city in the United Kingdom,</p>
    <p>with a metropolitan area of over 13 million inhabitants.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="col-md-4">
    <h2>Paris</h2>
