The rule

A user interface must change its layout based on the screen size.

Elements like navigation buttons move to different positions. This ensures the content is easy to see and interact with on any device.

A website uses responsive design to adapt to various screen sizes. For small screens, like on a mobile phone, elements might stack vertically. For larger screens, like on a desktop computer, elements might appear side-by-side. This makes the website usable on many devices.

A designer creates a carousel with navigation buttons. On a mobile phone, the buttons appear below the image. On a desktop computer, the buttons appear on the sides of the image. This allows a user to easily click the buttons on any device.
